{Reality Check} List

I decided to make a Reality Check List to keep myself in check when I am freaking out. It's so easy to lose sight of God's truths and the reality of our lives. I will be adding to list during the next 6 months, probably mostly in the form of listing things to be thankful for, as inspired by Ann Voskamp's "One Thousand Gifts." But for now, I will keep this list visible and with me at all times. 

{Reality Check} List:

• God loves me & I am forgiven.
• God has His best in mind for me.
• I have the most amazing husband.
• Faith is my good-hearted, wonderful little girl.
• Charlie brings me constant joy.
• Eating more chocolate will NOT make me feel better.
• My family and friends do care about me.
• Everything is for a season.
• Worrying will not make anything better.
• My body is God's temple; sacrifice it to Him.
• It's not worth it to get mad at Faith.
• I can enjoy time.
• There is always so much to be thankful for. List 3 things right now.
