"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." D&C 18:10
Very fitting for me right now. Not sure if any of you other moms feel this (or will admit it), but i feel as a mother and wife that I usually end up losing my identity. You know, a long time ago I was really outgoing, a little sexy at times, funny and a talented dancer. I used to do my hair, get dressed and put on makeup every day! Can you believe that a long time ago I didn't like cookies or candy really. Now, it's my sanity!
But time passes... and three little Angels have needs. A Hubby has needs. And all of these needs seem to come to me! So, that is why I love this scripture. God does find worth in me and maybe someday I will find myself again... probably under the millionth load or laundry :)

Oh Kathy, in my eyes you are still goreous, super fun and amazingly talented, and who needs make-up? You are getting more beautiful with age! In fact, I can't imagine you being any better before...you're probably like a good wine....don't be so hard on yourself. :) We all love everything about you.
love this! thanks for sharing!!
I always say I'll find 'me' again when all the kiddos are in school full-time and I have more then 10 minutes a day to myself. We'll see.
I don't know who you are, and even if I am some young kid, you have a marvelous way of writing... and, adding onto that, it's true what Becka said, don't be so hard on yourself. God loves you and so do others; for one who loves themselves can be loved by others.
I agree. Some days I feel like I blend in with the woodwork.
I used to do other things. Like my hair and nails!!
Thanks for sharing this! All moms should remember this.
I definitely know what you mean. My girls are adults (although Beth will always be at home) and I am just now trying to find out who I am again. More importantly, learning who God says I am. His opinion of me of very often different than my opinion of myself.
Fabulous scripture!
