I found an interesting post when I stopped by Heart 2 Heart . She was doing a post based on five words she was given. She invited us to play along if we wanted and you know me, I love knowing about people so I asked her to send me my 5 words. If you too are interested, leave me a comment and your email address and I too will send you 5 random words. These are my 5 words......1. Point......I am at the point in my life where I am comfortable with myself, my marriage, my kids, and my friends. For so many years, I struggled with being ENOUGH, being RIGHT, being BUSY ENOUGH, and finally I am at a Point that I am COMFORTABLE in my own skin. (almost all the time)
2. Inspirational.....So many people are inspirations to me.... single moms, soldiers, bloggers, friends that are seriously ill, kind people. I so much want to be an inspiration to others.
3. Guard......During this past year I have had to learn to guard my heart against toxic relationships in my life. For years, I allowed these relationships to keep me in a constant state of stress. In a teaching Beth Moore spoke a word that spoke to me about guarding our hearts. It has been freeing in so many ways.
4. Travel.....Easy one....I love it and Disney is my (our) favorite location. I am totally convinced that traveling teaches kids as much as school. I am planning a trip right now. And my favorite way to travel is with our entire family. ME and MY MAN, MY GIRL and her husband and 2 BOYS, MY SON and his wife and TWO BOYS. BLISS!!! And traveling by air is by far my most favorite way to go....
5. Image......This one almost stumped me.....There is my self image, my perceived image, my husbands image of me, my kids image of me, my friends image of me......I sure want all these to be good....but most of all I am thankful that I am made in the image of GOD!
Once again, if you want to participate, leave me a comment and your email and I will randomly select 5 words for you. What a great way to learn just a little bit more about each other and have fun sharing our lives. Just another way to know more about someones STORY.
Don't forget to visit the Christmas blog...the button is at the top of this one....all comments on it go into a drawing for a HUGE ORNAMENT and HOLIDAY GOODIES GIVEAWAY that I will draw for on OCTOBER 1st.....

Teresa,
WOW! You did a great job in making all of these words work for you. I love the image one the best and guard was a great piece of advice contained within, that not all relationships in our life are meant to be kept. Sometimes we can only walk away and lift them up in prayer.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
I would love to do the 5 words!!

Teresa - Thank you so much for your post. I'm so sorry that I've been gone again. Hopefully within the next few weeks things will get better. My new laptop computer should be here.
Take care and God Bless,

I've never seen a Five Words post. Pretty neat.
I think you did an amazing job with your five words. From what you said, it sounds like you're in a very healthy place in your life right now.
I really relate to #1 and #3.
I love your five words post, and if you send me five I will post what I write with them.
I am so excited to find your blog because now I learn you have a Christmas blog.
I wrote a book dedicated to celebrating Christmas & yes I also love that season.
For the 5 words my email is thekilns at excite dot com
Those were five awesome words and I would love a set of my own! I sure hope you're stopping by to see the fruits of your five word passing out labor! Thank you! <3, Alyssa

Always great to learn more about our friends. Have a lovely weekend. TTFN ~Marydon
I would love 5 words too! Can you leave them on my blog when you pop by please? It was great to see you there - I hope you have looked back at the earlier entiries, as things have slowed down a lot since I got back from France.:-(
Love this!
OK, you have me intrigued with "guard".....I struggle with guarding my heart/mind/self with toxic people and relationships. (read my Call Poison Control post if you ever get chance)
Can you hook a sista up with that Beth Moore word?
Thanks!!!!!
Great post and enjoyed my visit!
Hugs,
Maryjane
I love your site ... and your Christmas site. Thanks so much for visiting mine ... and yes, I'd love for you to mention my Christmas cookbook on your blog. Feel free to link to my blogsite or to my website. BTW, grandmothering is my favorite job of all times! Yours too??!!
Debbie
What a fabulous idea! I love it. And I thought you did a great idea with your five words. I too am grateful to be made in the image of God...things wouldn't be that great looking if I weren't, LOL!
I'd love to have you send me five words too! My e-mail is on my profile as well. Thanks for becoming a follower on my blog. I'm now following you as well. I always love meeting new, beautiful Christian sisters in blogland!
God bless your Sunday!

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a message! I have a MckLinky on the right side, if you want to post your Christmas giveaway there, too.
I noticed the Bible verse at the top of your blog. Jeremiah 29:11 is a special verse for me. It was the first memory verse I chose for our daughter the first week of homeschool! It has appeared in many different areas since then.
I'd love to participate in the Five Words.
I loved this and those were awesome words...
I want to join in...so whenever you get a chance and everyone is well, please send me five great words.

Thoroughly enjoyed this post. Especially the word image :)
I've seen a couple of these "Five Words" Memes around the blogs lately and they're really neat.
Good job!
Thank you for sending me my very own Five Random Words.
I posted it today on my blog, with a link in my post to your blog here.
This is a fun little word game which even reveals a bit about us.
Love how you're so comfortable with who you are.
And where you are.
I love Heart to Heart. What a great idea!
If you send me five words, I'll try.

Sweet dreams.
Teresa,...my Grammy Girlfriend,
I loved your 5 words! Your answers were great! You are so creative and gifted.
I think you are the first tree decorator that I have met. I do good to get my tree up,..but when I am doing it I enjoy it. You have great ideas.
Sorry your grandkids have been sick. Hope you and your honey don't get it.
We are family people too as well as Disney lovers. We went with our middle daughter, Lynnette (Dancing Barefoot), and her husband Kyle and their 6 kids to Disneyland last year for vacation and this year to Branson again. It is fun. I wish our whole family could go at once, but with everyone there would be 18 of us,...and that is quite a crowd. Plus it wouldn't work out with everyone's schedules.
Whew!,...ok please send me my 5 words. jhoge1945@sbcglobal.net
Thanks for visiting my blog and for leaving nice comments.
Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
Loved your 5 words!!!
Ok Teresa, I did my post with my five words today, but I was wondering,...shouldn't there be a linky hook up so that all of us who participated can read each others? I mean my followers that participate will come up on my reading list, so I can read theirs, but of course I won't see your follwers lists and posts unless we happen to have mutual followers. (SMILE) Am I just not getting it? (I do that sometimes) tee hee
I am a huge Beth Moore fan and would really, really love to know what she has to say about toxic people. We'll get to listen to her three times in Memphis in two weeks at LPL. CANNOT WAIT! And you speak my heart about traveling with those children -- big and little.
