My disgusting shower in my bathroom. I'm pretty sure it's rotted but do I care...not really!
My guest bedroom. Full of dust and cobwebs. Do I care...not really!
My beautifully painted walls full of beautiful art by my two year old. Do I care...not really!A fellow blogger asked people to post about the REAL things in their life. Here are a few glimpse's into my REAL life and one giant truth in my REAL life!!
The truth is that there are LOTS of REAL things in my life. REAL sin, REAL joy, REAL thankfulness and REAL hope. My hope isn't in the fact that I have REAL issues it's in the finished work on the cross. I'm not defined by my discontentment with my house, anger at my kids, ungratefulness to my husband, selfishness, lack of joy...the list could go on. I'm defined by the righteousness of Christ and his GRACE that is reigning in my life. That's my hope, that's where I find the strength to love my kids, be a loving and faithful wife and the Godly woman God has called me to be. "How Good is is to be loved by you"!
Hebrews 4:14-16
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Mrs. A,
I don't have your phone number with me here at school, but this weekend I'll be coming home [cause of the picnic--yay!] and I should be home around 4 or something on Friday, but anyway, I thought I would offer to watch the kids on Friday night if you guys wanted to go out...we could talk about the details later on if that is something that would be of service to you!! Email me: hsalsb00@leeu.edu

Thanks for your encouragement
I Love you Mom
If you figure out how to fix that bathroom baseboard let me know. I'de love to know. For now I close my eyes and try to not see it! Sara,you are a wonderful wife and mother. You can tell your family is a great priority in your life. I am so encouraged by your example to serve your family. Thank you!
sara not to be un-real or anything but when your bathroom looks that gross LETS GET IT CLEAN LUV CUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
CUFFY,
If your SO concerned about the bathroom please feel free to come over and clean it for me!!
Hey Sara, If I was there I would help you clean for sure!! :) One REAL thing in my life is that I didn't enjoy those kinds of things. My focus WAS on my house and not my first priorities-My precious savior and my precious Son. My life was consumed with myself and cleaning and not taking time to enjoy the REAL things in life. I still struggle to this day,but thank god for opening my eyes, especially through people like you!Thanks for blogging and sharing your life with us all. What an encouragement it is! I get on everyday anxiously awaiting new pictures of Aaron, you, and the kids. Like I told Billie, for so long I haven't written because of my selfish pride. Thinking I don't have enough Godly wisdom or the right words to say. FOOEY! It all boils down to SIN.Thank you lord for the cross! I love you so much Sar and am amazed at what the Lord has done in you! Tell Aaron and the kids I said hello! They are all so big and ADORABLE!!! Can't wait to see what you post next. Much love, Lishie
L.L., It was so great to hear from you. I miss you and hope you guys can come down and visit soon. I think of you often and pray for you and Zay and Jay. Thanks for checking in--Love you,
Sara
