Judging

This is a tough one. Aren't we all a little guilty at one time or another of judging somebody? 

Think about it- you see the mom on her phone not paying attention to her child at the playground- you think "Jeez, lady, spend time with you kid instead of playing on facebook!" Completely discrediting anything that may have happened during her day or what she may be dealing with on the back end. Maybe she had made cookies with her child earlier that day, cleaned the house while the little one napped, took the kiddo to lunch and then received a phone call that she lost her job and just needed somewhere to get a break all while allowing her child some playtime. Who really knows? Maybe her kid had been having meltdowns all day and she was about to pull her hair out- she needed a break! A break before she broke. So, there she was- at the park- searching through google to find out "how to discipline a strong willed child"! I don't know but either way she was judged, right? 

What about the girl that is always taking selfies? Okay, we get it already! You love taking pics of yourself! Right? But no..... maybe she always struggled with self esteem and she finally is starting to feel confident. Maybe she was previously in an abusive relationship that made her feel ugly and she's finally freed herself allowing her to see her potential and she's actually happy? Again, who knows...but she was judged...

So, here it is.... We NEVER know another person's situation- I mean, unless they tell us, but how often is that the case? My purpose in today's post is truly to share my heart. I hear others make judgmental comments all the time. Heck! I've been judged myself plenty of times! It's not a good feeling. 

We have absolutely no right to judge one another! 
It even says in the Bible: Judge not lest you will be judged. 

My simple advice (and what I try to do each day)...

Be kind. 
Love others like God loves you.
If you don’t agree with the lifestyle another has still show Gods love. 

Love. Smile. Share Gods word.
Don’t judge others just because they sin differently than you. ❤️✝️

Something worth Celebrating!

Well, as it happens to most families with young children that start school, our family got the sick bug. We've all had it but Ritter is the OG, the one who contacted the cold and shared it with the rest of us. I started feeling bad Friday and am finally feeling better, almost like my normal self, TODAY! So, I celebrate! Seriously, why not? I am a working mom! I'm running an entire household and I've been sick! That is NO FUN! Like, none. And, sidenote, I think mom's shouldn't be allowed to get sick. Just sayin'. I celebrate because I have felt terrible the last few days (and, as most moms do, felt terrible that I felt terrible- which is annoying- why do we do that?!) and NOW- FINALLY- I'm feeling better! Good enough to refocus on my schedule, goals and recognize all that I can accomplish! Yes! I celebrate.  But why do I share this with you? Well, because I feel like, as women, we mostly are getting on to ourselves, putting ourselves down, feeling guilt...

Simply happy.....

Over the past year we have worked really hard to make things happen.... I am feeling so accomplished at this time because things are really starting to pan out. This is a great feeling... Not only that but I have really grown to realize over the past few years how incredibly blessed I am. I have always been a very thankful person but as I grow older I become even more thankful... I have an absolutely amazing husband. He loves me so much....I know that. I'm really lucky to have him in my life... I know he will always stand beside me and love me with all his heart. I have a wonderful family... there are so many people in my family and not many people can say that. They are all really great people and I love the close bond that we share... I am so blessed...yet again. Finally, I have great friends. They are loving, caring people. Although I have been extremely busy this summer and haven't been able to spend as much time with them we still are close and I love them al...
