I finally did it!
I have a blog. I know so many of you have been telling me for months to create one, so here it is. I dont feel like I have much to say but I promise to keep you updated with the latest Craven news. love ya all.
Computers frustrate me!!
I have been working on this blog far to long with nothing to show for it. We have a Mac and I just can't figure it all out. It takes forever to download images. I am so fustrated. I am trying to make a slide show of Braxton for the blog and I dont know how. I am up for any suggestios. Thanks

Who am I not to be?
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not
our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson
I came across this quote the other week and I can't get it out ot my mind. I have realized that I ask myself these questions all the time. Who am I to be beautiful, talented, smart? Ever since I have become a mohter, negitive thoughts about my selfworth seem to creep in more than they use to. Here I am doing one of the most important things that our Heavenly Father has commanded us to do (procreate and raise children in the gospel). And I find myself lacking. Lacking in purpose, rightouseness, love, patience, happiness, selfworth.
Please don't think the worst, I am very happy in my life and I am surounded by thoes that love me (even though we all live far apart). This quote has reminded me that I am a child of God and I need to see myself through his eyes. I am Beautiful, smart, talented, and a good mother. Its wierd how it is even hard to wite those positive things about myself, but I am excited to start beliving that our Heavenley Father truly has some amazing things ahead for me in my liffe. I want to start living up to my full potential.
