As I picked up a big Tupperware full of soup from the fridge, it slipped out of my hands and broke open as it landed. Spilling all of its contents all over my kitchen floor and cabinets ??\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/li>\n<p>The mess was horrible!! After having some tears of frustration and spending a while cleaning up. My son handed me a drawing he made to help me feel better. It was a picture of me with the spilled soup ? but it had hearts all around me and he wrote over and over I LOVE YOU!!! \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f &#8230;It was definitely the cutest way to help me feel better.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like in life there are so many times when we accidentally \u201cSpill the soup\u201d all over ourselves and all over the place! ? We end up having negative thoughts about ourselves, about our body, our looks, our parenting, what we do and don\u2019t accomplish. We compare ourselves to Pinterest, to social media, we place our value on what others think about us. Or on what the world tells us we should be like. Do you notice how all of these thoughts turn into a mess in your mind &amp; soul?<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you need a little reminder like the one my son gave me. That even though you spilled the soup, there\u2019s still a God who is right there to help you feel better. \u2764\ufe0f There\u2019s a God who wants you to know that He loves you and His love doesn\u2019t change because of your your achievements, your body size, your looks, your bank account, your popularity etc&#8230; HE JUST LOVES YOU!!! \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>He wants to remind you to not nag yourself with thoughts of failure. Instead, remember that on those days when you spill the soup, He still BELIEVES IN YOU! \u2764\ufe0f He wants you to remember that He notices all of the good that you\u2019re doing and all of it doesn\u2019t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>He wants you to remember to take it one day at a time, doing your best each day to clean up any negativity from your mind &amp; heart and instead to fill yourself with the companionship and inner peace that God brings. He allows your cup to be full and even overflowing each day.<\/p>\n<p>As you allow yourself to find your value in Him. Your confidence will grow. ? Not confidence in the things of this world, but confidence in God. ??? You will see that confidence and success in life truly comes from discovering and understanding who you really are in the sight of God. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>So, keep looking up! Stay positive and do your best. ? I pray that God can deliver the message that you\u2019re meant to gain from this. &amp; that you will have a stronger desire to FOCUS MORE ON THE LOVE OF GOD. Rather than on the ways in which you&#8217;re &#8220;spilling the soup&#8221; You&#8217;re AMAZING! AND ARE LOVED BY GOD TODAY AND ALWAYS!!! ? Love you all and hope to see you in class tonight at 6:30pm to strengthen our Body, Mind and Spirit. ????<\/p>\n<p>Love,<\/p>\n<p>Lili ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was rushing to clean out my fridge yesterday, I knew I only had a small amount of time to do it before picking up my groceries.
