A Major Blooper

Well... S did a lovely job of starting a trend with this one.

In regards to bloopers, here's the conversation and reactions at home for the football game this past weekend.

Everyone sitting in silence (soft mumblings in personal conversation)
M shouts across the room, "A, S told me that you are pregnant!"
Synchronized, "I said no such thing!"-S
"Excuse me, what?!" -A
Dad's eyebrows raise.
"No dad, I am not pregnant!"

A few minutes after:

M looks at Joe and I and says, "My dad weighs like 300 pounds!"
"Ummm... I'm pretty sure your dad doesn't weigh close to 300 pounds M!"

I say to J, "It's okay if your 300 pounds J, I'm pregnant."

(NO! I am not pregnant. I have no plans to be pregnant anywhere in the near future, and so this was all a random rambling from a 6 year old.)

Weak

Strength -Noun-
-The quality or state of being strong; bodily or muscular power; vigor.
-Mental power, force, or vigor.
-Moral power, firmness, or courage.
-Power of resisting force, strain, wear, etc.
(www.dictionary.com)

Sometimes its the right thing to refrain from resisting force. Sometimes its the right thing to give in.

Sometimes its the right thing to sleep for 3 hours when you said you were only going to sleep for 20 minutes.

Sometimes its the right thing to doze off in your thoughts and lose track of time.

Sometimes its the right thing to be scared.

Strength can only be complimented by its opposite, weakness.

And one can only understand strength once they've endured through weaknesses.

And God can only hold you up and give us His strength, when we fall to our knees in weakness.

And even when it seems like every side is closing in, and the walls keep getting closer and closer, He will not let you be crushed. He knows how far is enough to stretch you just the right amount. Even if to us, that amount seems too much, He knows much more than we do.

I chose to be weak. Bring on the stretching.
