52 Lists | (3) Things I Should Be Proud Of

At first I was a little unsure about today's list. Things I should be proud of? What? I have to tell you that there are a bunch of things that I am NOT proud of. I didn't finish college, and I wish I did. I racked up debt in my twenties because I could not/would not stick to a budget. I tried and failed too many diets, ending up heavier than I ever thought I would. But the more I thought about it, I have some things I should be proud of too. And this post isn't about my failures, it's about my accomplishments. So here we go, in no particular order...

I have a good job, and have been there almost 3 years now.

I paid off all of my student loans, plus other debt.

I started my own photography business.

I/we have a wonderful marriage.

I waited for God's best when it came to my husband.

I kept my commitment to save sex for marriage, even though my husband came along much later than I thought he would!

I auditioned and was cast in a few musicals at Theatre Baton Rouge.
I am a darn good stage manager (if i do say so myself!)(although it's been awhile!).
I have struggled and failed many times with losing weight, but I always get back up and try again.

So there you have it, although I have to say that some of these would not have been possible without God's strength & grace!
