Seven Wants.

As a mother it's strange that your wants are generally matched with your needs. What you need is usually what we want. We're selfless like that. Most of my most precious wants are under the Check List heading above, but aside from those..

I want..

A world without poverty, a world that we can all stand proud in together.

Fresh water for all, it's still so hard to believe that there are still people in the world without clean drinking water.

My kids to go to university. To be successful and enjoy life.

The free way, a life without money.

My friends and family saved.

&

To be able to speak openly about Jesus anytime I want, without feeling judged.

Have you done the

Eight Fears.

 Living alone had its advantages, but my fears far outweigh them..

I Fear..

That while putting the bin out someone can walk into my home.

Suffocation. It used to haunt me a lot more while my kids were younger.

My kids not having good wholesome role models and family.

The unpredictability of life and death.

Driving, but mainly being responsible for two other lives.

That I'm not good at being a Mum and sometimes resemble my Mum.

Death, because my kids have no one else and would be split up.

Leaving my kids on their own for more that 5-10 minutes. I would be lost without even one of them.

I'm up to day 3, come join in the

Nine Loves.

I really am a simple girl. I look at how the world promotes girls my age on billboards and in movies and it sickens me how much is fake.  Even music videos and lyrics have gotten outrageous. Whatever happen to wearing what you like and not being judged? Or pulling out those really old second hand pair of overalls at the back of your wardrobe? I don't know about you but I just love being me. Sometimes it's hard to live up to my role as a mum, a daughter, a wife, a christian or even a woman in society but here are 8 of my loves..

 I love..

1. The wind in my hair when I go for long drives.
2. The person I can be when no-one is watching.
3. Eating my dinner at a table my kids set out.
4. Listening to prayers.
5. My neighbors who have never judged me.
6. Scented candles.
7. People.
8. Living and breathing country.
9. Feeling loved..

Ten Secrets.

One thing you might or might not know about me already is that I don't hold back with my life situations. I post a lot of my thoughts and feelings on my twitter and so everyone can get to know me and gets a feel for the real me. I don't have any dark secrets, I have dealt with certain areas in my life I kept from people in my adolescents and will be flashing back on Fridays here on my blog to times and places which had an impact on me. This is not only for my readers but so that my kids have a better understanding of who their Mummy really is and was. Sort of like, family history. But here are a few I thought of here on the spot..

1. I cannot watch scary movies alone. Sometimes even CSI scares me.
2. I perfer videos over DVD's. I'm sure I'm not the only one..?
3. I drink wine almost every weekend, it takes the edge off.
4. I plan on stealing my Dad's secret recipe to chow mein one day..
5. I'm not a very good blog follower. Unless the title or photo catches my eye I don't click in.
6. I don't own a pair of runners.
7. I still call bathers - togs.
8. When I am stressed I eat. Usually late at night when things weigh heavy on my mind.
9. I have four real friends. 
10. I get lonely, which may be another reason I blog.

This is my first post of the

She makes my heart sing..

Today was like no other I have spent with my sweet little girl.

Nevaeh wanted to talk about Jesus - All day.

It started with her seeing my bible and her wanting me to read it.

So I did..

Then she didn't want to watch a movie (odd for her) instead wanting to worship

So we did..

Tonight she said a prayer that left me speechless :

Dear God, Thank you for dinner and please help me to be a good girl because I don't want to be naughty or nasty anymore. -Amen

She is an amazing little girl with God in her heart today.

She is always changing especially now that everything around her has changed.

But this change in her is by far the best!

The kids running free all day in the fresh air was almost as good as the pure hearted christian families we shared it with!! And best of all, it was totally FREE! I don't know about you, but I love free..
