I think I can finally relay why I believe I have it all.
First of all, it has nothing to do with me.
Secondly, I feel I must say what having it all is not. It is not the house that I live in. We rent, and this place it is no show house. It is not how much money is in our bank account. My husband is a teacher, we haven't received a secret inheritance, and I am a stay-at-home mom. You can do the math! ;) It is not about all my family members having glowing health. We are facing a chronic health issue right now, right here in my own home. It's not about me being such a talented wife and mother. That you can be sure of!!!
To be honest, there are days when I forget that I truly do have it all. This usually happens when I look at what others have, or really, what I think they have, and begin to wish it for myself.
The true test that proves my conviction that I have it all is this: There is not one person on this earth, not one other family on this earth, that I would want to trade lives with. Sure, there are some parts I'd like to switch out every now and then, but when it comes down to it, this is the life for me. Running the race that was set before me. And knowing I have the Power to do it. Thank you, Lord.
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 2 Peter 1:3

Amen friend!
And isn't it just the greatest feeling to realize this and begin to live it? It sure changed things in my life when I got a really good hold of this concept.
I love that scripture. I was singing this Hymn this morning (from In Heavenly Love Abiding): Wherever He may guide me, no want shall turn me back. My Shepherd is beside me, and nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waking, His sight is never dim. He knows the way He's taking, and I will walk with Him... My hope I cannot measure, my path to life is free. My Savior has my treasure, and He will walk with me. Love to you and your family, Amy!! You are immensely rich!
Well said!
