When you look at me, what do you see?

Ok, this may seem like a cry for help, and I guess it is. I'm having a hard time right now, and I often wonder what people really see in me. Personally, I don't see much good at the moment, but I know there must be some because you care enough about me to be here. Please comment and help me pick myself up.

I see a strong woman who finds time to go to the gym (even if its not everyday) take care of her 4 children, be in charge of a store facility and not freak out on a regualr basis. i barely feel like i have enough time to take car of my house and my kids, let alone get the work out in that i have been trying to do for months now. You love your family and the Lord and are willing to help others in need even if some times its not convenient. you are awesome, YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!

For as long as I've known you, you have been a great friend. Always their when I need you, and willing to listen. Any one who meets you can tell you have a testimony of Jesus Christ. Your a great mom and a great wife. Both of which are huge jobs. And have many wonderful talents. (playing the piano, saving money with coupons just to name a few) I hope you realize how special you are!

Sweetie, you are agreat mom, a loving wife and a child of God. Sometimes being those two things are more then one can handle. I should tell you about my young days as a Mom and wife. Sometimes it is so hard to achieve what we want and all things get to us. Does it help to know you are normal young woman?, probably not, but it is true. Just remember we are LOVE YOU and our prayers are all on your side. Be strong sweetie and if you want a good cry, by all means let it all come out. It helps. I know it does.

Love you

Amy,
You are an amazing woman! You are a wonderful mom, a dedicated and loving wife and a beautiful daughter of God. You always care for others before caring for yourself. You are very caring and thoughtful. I was going through some stuff yesterday and I found a card you had given for my birthday. I thought to myself...I just love that girl. Please know that you are loved and that you are wonderful. I am lucky to know someone like you!

Cry for help or not, Every women needs to be reminded of her worth. A few years ago when I was down in the dumps like you are I couldn't see my accomplishments. I had a counselor on the fly write things that that were good about me. That list was on my fridge for many years and I learned how to accept my accomplishment no matter now small they seemd and celebrate them. This list may seem silly to you but it got me through that time and I don't think i ever felt that bad about my self again. The list lookes something like this

Potytrained my kids
I care that my kids eat a balanced diet even if its not everyday
I care to be a loving wife
I want my kids to have a joyful relationship with their siblings
I do my Hair and make-up most day's

As mothers don't we know that sometimes these tasks seem unimportant but imagine If I hadn't followed through with any of them, my and my childrens life would be drastically different. I incourage you to make a list even if it seems trivial accept all the parts of you, good and bad, as parts that make you who you are. And who you are has been good enough for alot of people for a long time.
I love you!
