A New Tag

Haven't done one of these in forever

 I AM: a daughter of God, Easton's Mommy, Tegan's oven, a photographer, uncomfortably pregnant
 I WANT: the blessings of eternity to belong to my little family
 I HAVE: nothing to do on this Saturday afternoon
 I MISS: someone I love very much and friends in Meridian
 I FEAR: losing people that I love - not death, but a spiritual death
 I HEAR: nothing but the squeaky chair I'm sitting on. No-one is home, and Easton is sleeping.
 I SEARCH: the scriptures for answers to questions in my life.
 I WONDER: if I'll have the thing I am most concerned about and pray earnestly for.
 I REGRET: that I didn't work out this pregnancy, not always being Christ-like, my early teenage years
 I LOVE: my own little family, my big family, my friends, the Savior, the gospel, Sonic ice, and bagels
 I FORGIVE: someone that I love that hurt me because the Lord helped me to forgive
 I ACHE: for those that do not know what they are worth to God and to people that love them
 I ALWAYS: wish that I could make people do the things that would bring happiness to their lives
 I TRY: to trust the Lord, to be filled with love, to wake up early but it never happens
 I AM NOT: strong enough to get through life on my own, good at eating regularly
 I SEEM: to be just fine and together and organized but sometimes I am not
 I KNOW: who I am and I know what I am worth
 I FEEL: grateful, sorrowful, tired, happy, cynical, frustrated, peaceful and lot of other contradicting emotions all at the same time. That's life, right?
 I DANCE: only if I'm trying to make a fool of myself.
 I DREAM: really weird things when I'm pregnant.
 I GIVE: all my food to Easton. I never get to eat anything by myself unless I'm hiding.
 I LISTEN: to the advice of people who know what they are talking about, when I'm not already in deep thought
 I SING: to Easton every night, in my car when I'm driving, all the time
 I LAUGH: every single time Easton does his belly dance, at Easton's weirdness, when something is funny
 I CAN'T: wait until I can see the end of the beginning, wait until Tegan is born
 I WRITE: poetry more often these days
 I CRY: because I can, because it makes me feel better, when I'm heart-broken, when I'm angry, in private mostly, when I'm praying
 I SLEEP: until about 10am unless I have to work
 I AM NOT ALWAYS: rational in my thinking, trusting, sure of myself, this large and uncomfortable
 I SEE: goodness in one who doesn't see goodness in himself.
 I NEED: to go to the store, shave my legs, post pictures on my photo blog, wake Easton up before it gets too late
 I SHOULD: be more willing to let people help me, but I hate feeling helpless or needy. I don't like to place burdens upon people, so I sometimes try to keep big things to myself.



Now I tag everyone on my blogger bud list. Do it or don't, no biggie. But it's a good one for journaling purposes.
