Priorities And Purpose Help Keep Us On

When I Was 16, I Filmed An Episode Of 'full House' Where My Family Goes To Disney World. I Remember Putting On Baggy Overalls Just To Hide My Stomach. When I Watched It, I Was Pretty Disappointed And Bummed Out Looking At Myself... I Didn't Feel Good About My Own Body.

God Created Each One Of Us In Our Own Unique Way. Just Like A Snowflake We All Hold A Blueprint That Differs One From Another. It's Great To Lose Weight And Keep Our Bodies Healthy And Strong, But It's Also Important That We Appreciate Who We Are Today - With Or Without Extra Pounds.

Raising Children Has Given Me A Compassionate And Gracious Heart For All Children And People, Realizing We Don't Always Know The Circumstances Behind Closed Doors.

The Best Advice I've Ever Been Given Is Being Handed A Bible. That's The Blueprint For Marriage That We Go By, And That's What Our Marriage Is Grounded In. We Also Have Other Married Couples Who Are Examples In Our Lives. My Parents Have Been Married Over 40 Years, And Both Sets Of Grandparents For Over 65 Years. When You See Couples In Long-term Relationships And You See Them Go Through Good Times And Bad Times, You Realize It's About Being Committed Enough And Loving Your Partner Enough To Hang In There Regardless.

When You Lie There's Always Going To Be A Consequence. Lying Never Wins At The End.
