Life is so daily, no?
If I want to design effectively, I must hone my craft daily.
If I want to increase my physical endurance, I must exercise daily.
I wouldn't consider myself to be a great cook (which I'm certainly not) if I only cooked once a week, or a great piano player if I only practiced every now and then. When Lance Armstrong was asked for the secret to being the best cyclist in the world, he replied, "You ride every day of the year, whether it's your birthday or Christmas."
If I'm not doing something daily, the chances are I'm really not doing it very well at all.
I play a lot of roles. Mother. Wife. Writer. Blogger. Friend. If a blog post falls through, it's on me. I'm the girl responsible to make sure my home runs efficiently. It's up to me make sure Studhubs and my children feel cherished, safe and loved. It's up to me to give all I can on a daily basis--because whatever I do, I want to do it well.
"Nah", he said. "God just wants your momminess."
Hmm. Must remember that.

I overheard my boys talking and Reagan was telling Konrad, "God wants my strongness and my coolness."
I asked him, "What about Mommy? Does God want my strongness and my coolness?""Nah", he said. "God just wants your momminess."
Hmm. Must remember that.

Love the "daily" segment...especially the "momminess" part. :)
ReplyDeleteKids have a way of saying things, don't they? :-) This blue makes your eyes 'pop' and looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteLove this look, Kristina J! :) The sparkles are just so great & fun!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours. In one of those cosmic coincidences, I was reading a passage that relates to the "momminess" your kids talk about:
ReplyDelete"IF we do not rise to the challenge now, then when? If we do not strive today, then when? Life is a struggle against the limited time we have on earth. What will have been the purpose of our life if we do not fulfill our mission? If we abandon our dream, no matter how we try to justify ourselves, there will be little left in the end but emptiness and regret.
THE pattern of our lives, like that of the sun, may seem monotonous and routine, but there is nothing more profound than our daily endeavours. Achieving brilliant victory in our daily lives is what being victorious in faith is all about." from http://dailyguidance.blogspot.be/
I. Love. This. Seriously...so gorgeous, Kristina!
