Days 7-9 of the Rest of My Life
My Journey through the 24-day Challenge
(Or, Why am I Doing This Crazy Thing?)
The Confession, Conclusion
I was having a hard time being "single mom" to the kids while Duane was away each week, and as hard as I tried to improve the situation, I had hit a wall.
Enter Spark.
If I was to enumerate all the benefits, you probably wouldn't believe me. But I'm going to give you the bottom line: I feel as good as I did 10 years ago, before my last 3 pregnancies.
I'm the better version of me...a nicer and more energetic mommy, all day long. No more blow ups.
Why would I share this 3-part confession? Because the law of averages says there are other people out there like me, and I'm all about sharing things that have changed my life. My personal mission statement is to offer hope to people who are searching, even if it makes me uncomfortable.
Of course I want to share about how Spark has helped me, but this is about much more than that. What change are you searching for today? Do you need to "come clean" with a trusted friend?
Turn away from a nasty habit? Or perhaps listen to a nudge that says you should try something new that could possibly change things forever?
You might just find that it's not as scary as you think.
It may be time to take a step.
I know you can do it.
With Love,
Steph

Coming Up:
Read about the announcement that rocked my world and brought me to tears...
Also: Out with the Cleanse Phase...in with the Max Phase!
I know it is not just about the Spark but I have got to say, this one product has made a huge difference for me too! All my life I had a physical low in the afternoon about 2 - 4 pm. I would hit a wall, be sleepy, mentally sluggish, and then get grouchy if I wasn't able to rest. I drink Spark in the morning, and I have more energy all day long! No more afternoon naps needed! No more hitting the wall at 2 pm.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, thanks for sharing, "warts and all." If we can not be real in the body of Christ, is there anywhere safe? With me it is yelling, and I hate that I do it. I hate it even more when I hear my kids do it!
God truly uses our kids to show me the real me, and my need for Him to work in me! I don't always hear it when I say it, but I sure hear it when they say it just like I said it!!
Sara, this is so true. I will sometimes overlook my own behavior, making all sorts of excuses in my head about stress or being overloaded, but when my kids mimic my behavior, I can no longer be in denial.
