Face first

Sometimes I fall face first.....

What I mean by that is I simply don't have it all together, like one may think.

I read another Hope mom's blog recently about falling short so I decided to follow suit.

I have gotten many comments about how well together my family is, how outgoing I am, how great I look etc.....

Truth is yes, I try. But almost every single day I fall face first.

When I try so hard with one thing, something will be neglected. I have so many roles. I am a mom, a wife, a daughter, friend, christian. And it's so hard to meet each of these things every single day.

I try hard to focus on my health right now and being a good godly example. But with that I still have 5 kids at home, and a husband to please. I can't do it all.

For the longest time this bothered me, I would be exhausted trying to be everything to everyone and still be Angela. In fact, I neglected myself for 9.5 years easy. I hid behind the mom card.

And over the past 9 months I am gaining her back, or I should say redefining her. It's so strange... and yet so freaking cool. Losing 63lbs in 9 months, and trusting God with everything, redefining life by Christs example.

Yet, I know something will not be done to the level I expect of myself.

But I have expected myself to fall face first somedays. It's ok.

Family and God first, next I try my freaking hardest to be the best friend I can be. Treat others as you want to be treated is a motto I live by daily.

If I want people to love me I love them, if I want phone calls/texts I text them. My husband included as well. I try to let anyone around me I care about know I love them. But again.... I have fallen face first a few times. I forget things, or I try too hard.

Falling face first hurts.... But I know I will be ok. Just live each day trying as hard as I can.
