6 Words

Yes, I absolutely threw that bottle away! Ya'll are too funny.

I was reading in a magazine recently and came across something I just loved. People described themselves in six words. These are a few of my favorites. I laughed out loud when I read them. ; )

"Old too soon. Smart too late."

"Was hot. Raised kids. Lost cool."

"Might as well eat that cookie."

"Still fit into high school earrings."

"Best move ever? I married her."

"Sorry I'm not married yet, mom."

So I've been thinking what I would say about myself at this time of my life. You can say a lot in six little words! This is when I wish I was really funny or creative. ; ) I did think of a few...


Following Jesus is always worth it.


High school sweetheart is still mine. 


Small details make a full life.




Try it! I would love to hear what you come up with. Have a good weekend!


His love is perfected in us.

1 John 4:12

  3. I love that your Bible verse ties in to the "6 words". So clever!

    God is good, ALL the time

    God's opinion is all that matters

  9. Hi Katie, I just read Resse;s story It is so beautiful I loved her slide show. I recently gave birth to a stillborn son on 1-24-12. I started blogging to help me cope with my felling, and to keep a record of Jonathan's life. I also, like you want to uses it as a scrapbook for my family. It helped me so much to read your sweet girls story. Is there somewhere on your blog that I can read more about her and how you manged grief? You have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your story, it has done good for this hurting mommy's heart.

    I can choose faith or fear.
    My husband doesn’t think I’m funny.
    My friends think I am funny.
    Serving others truly makes me happy.
    Hanging out with girlfriends is fun!
