Supporting my friend Angela with a 9 on the 9th post!
1) If I could remember EXACTLY what it feels like to be in the dressing room trying on bathing suits, surely I'd put the cookie down EVERY time!
2) If I knew JUST how quiet, still, and clean my house will be once these kiddos are grown, surely I'd APPRECIATE the chaos!
3) If I could remember how GREAT I feel after I exercise, surely I would choose to MOVE more often!
4) If I could perceive the mountain of TRASH I am creating, surely I would choose to be more GREEN!
5) If I would have KNOWN that I would accumulate 4600+ pictures in my iPhoto program, surely I would have dealt with them AS I went along.
6) If I was eye to eye with someone truly HUNGRY, surely I wouldn't WASTE a morsel.
7) If I could see my life the way GOD would have it, surely I would chose HIS way every time.
8) If I could see each PERSON as God does, surely I would MAKE time to share Christ with every one of them!
9) If I had realized how LONG this was going to take to write, surely I would have chosen ANOTHER subject.

GREAT list!!! I especially appreciate the last three. Thanks for the reminders and inspiration.
Wonderful! I can relate to all of them, especially #2.
I so relate to the trash one right now....I just cleaned out the laundry room.
Yikes it is amazing how much trash accumulates on the shelves!
#7 was the one i loved the most. it is right where i am at in life now a days!! cute post idea.
Wow! You really did pick a tough subject!
However, this was a really well done post. You've got me thinking.....I think my perspective needs a little shift....
Love this! I especially needed to hear numbers 2 and 5. Number 7 is oh, so true. And I love that you included number 4.

What a wonderful and creative list. I related to them all. Thank you for playing my friend.
Well thank you for not choosing a different subject...because this one rocked!
Word!
Wow. you put into words EVERYTHING I feel. I think I'm going to tape this in every room of the house. Here's a good one from me. (alana is away at camp for a week! hannah goes tomorrow for two nights.) "If only I remember how much my heart aches when I am not with them, I would choose to be WITH them and enjoying them more when they're at home."
If you would have chosen another topic I wouldn't have enjoyed this one so much...thanks!
That is a great post! The last was is so funny! Number 8 made me think. Actually, they all made me think.
Wow Alana, that was awesome! You are so creative!
I loved every second of reading this post. Alana! great job!
After each one I said "ooooh." Each one was my favorite.
Excellent Alana!
i'm impressed alana! you're smart, and sweet. a great combo!
Great job, Alana. You're pretty darn good at this!
Hmmmm. You sure made me think.
You did a great job on this very creative post! Definitely have me thinking today ....
#9 is the best!
Perspective, we all need some. These 9 are amazingly thought out and well stated. I could use some of that perspective right now.
Great Post!
Wow - great perspective gal. Love #2...need to remember that. Amen to 7 and 8...beautiful.
