wisdom.

"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway."- Mother Teresa

The previous quote is one of my favorites! If only it were easy to follow ALL the time. As I've mentioned before, I've felt extremely out of balance lately and I'm trying to get back in touch with myself. I really want to finish reading this book I started months ago. It is so eye-opening and it talks about several different aspects of spirituality, personal growth and the meaning of life. I consider myself pretty open-minded when it comes to faith and spiritual outlets. I believe in a God that likes for me to ask questions, so that I can grow stronger in my relationship with him. I do not believe that God created us with inquisitive minds, without wanting us to find our own way to him. One of the most important aspects (and perhaps the best aspect!) of my relationship with my husband is that we are on the same page, spiritually. We both believe that it IS okay to question things and not have all of the answers and we want to raise our children to be open-minded and accepting of others and their beliefs. God is love.

I'm trying to face the reality that I have to go into work tonight. I'm hoping to find out whether or not the house we really want is a possibility still. My sister in law is supposed to let me know sometime tonight as to whether or not they received a contact today. Talk about anticipation!
