"we can't take credit for our talents now can we?"

It's an amazing quote I think, though it's not really done yet "We can't take credit for our talents, now can we. It's how we use them that counts"

Good point but I want to take credit for the food that I have made so well and the amazing kids that I raised and lets not forget how well I put my life back together. OK OK FINE!! It's true, I am not that great of a cook but I do my best when it's for my kids or my husband. My kids are amazing inspite of everything I do for them and to them, MAN I swear if I screw up that job anymore I really will have to start saving for their therapy. The only reason my life needed putting back together is because I screwed it up to begin with!

It's amazing when you break things down how much we don't have. I was given the gift of making food, God blessed me beyond belief in that area. I can create foods I never thought I could, it's not something I did to earn it! My gift of AMAZING kids is beyond me, what could I have done right in this life to have deserved that. To be honest I can think of a million things I do wrong on a daily basis that would earn me the right to have God say "to bad sweetie" but he doesn't. He see's something in me worthy of giving me these 3 (almost 4 wait till November) amazing creatures who I love more then life itself. The last one.... yeah well I screwed my life up pretty badly! I did things I shouldn't, I was horrid, I did things I still can't believe sometimes I survived the things I did. God was gracious enough to love me through that, He and only He got me through.

So yeah, I have some talents (though i am not sure any of them are that amazing, I'm no Micheal Angelo) but I didn't give them to me. I didn't go through an isle of talents like an isle of clothes and pick them out, I was given them by someone who thought I was amazing enough to be given these things. Its hard to wrap my head around the idea sometimes, "Really if you even knew 20% of who I really was you wouldn't give these things to ME of all people"

For whatever reason that needed to get out of me, so now it's out and I want to add.... I love you, whoever you are that is reading this, but God loves you a million times more!!
