(Sold)
I can't believe it's already August. Where did July go? Where did the summer break go? The girls come home in two day, then all three children start school a week after that. When I was young, school didn't start back until after Labor Day.
I laid in bed this morning not wanting to get up because I stayed up way too late last night. I was reflecting on this past month and was glad it was over, but more importantly, I was thankful for what I learned from it. There were definitely some good times in July. I loved spending quality time with my son Dixon with out the constant drama of the girls. I made a very quick trip to Florida with two wonderful friends, and I sold several paintings. This one included. However, there were also a lot of disappointments, low days, and past regrets. But because of those days, I was able to get focused again on what is really important.
Somewhere down the road, I got off track and started seeing my self-worth through the eyes of others. Their opinion and relationship to me meant way too much in how I viewed myself, my personality, my art, etc. It took a hard situation for me to see that my believing was off. I will never find true self worth in another person's opinion or in material things, but only in my Heavenly Father. Only in Him am I really complete, and my job is just to keep my focus on that and do what is right in His eyes. It was amazing how my outlook changed and I could even say I was thankful for the days that were difficult in the month of July.
