Mole holes or Mountains...

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence. —Mandin Og 

Some days everything seems like a mountain.  Other days just mole holes.  Today I'm grateful for the ability to see the difference and appreciate the grace that God has given my life.  

I won't say my life is peaches and cream...in fact lately it's felt more like burnt toast and yucky well water but in each trial comes new opportunities.  I think we are in a season of trial right now and hopefully the new opportunities are around the corner.  I have never been a graceful person.  I fight happiness with every inch of my being and I tend to dwell on the negative.  My hubby on the other hand is eternally optimistic.  Because of him I'm finding joys in the little things and learning to accept what I can not control.  The "mountains" are shrinking and the mole holes are becoming comical.  

I'm finding my inner smile and am hoping it will become an outward smile soon.  I want to be known for being a woman of God and grace without having to tell people I am a woman of God and grace.
