Is Truth True?

So last night we talked about truth. To me it is such a simple word. The meaning seems pretty obvious. Yet somehow to most people it is extremely difficult to practice. We believe we are being honest because we are not telling lies. But when you really stop and think about it- Are you being true to who you are?? Are you compromising who you are to be who society wants you to be? Do you let others change who you are to fit in? Do you practice what you preach? Well I thought I did. My kids will tell you mommy hates lies. And I do-I just cannot stand lies. I cringe at fakeness- makes me angry. I’m a tell like is it kind of girl. I don’t see the point in sugar coating things. But what I learned last night is I might not lie to others- but I have been lying to myself for years. I tell myself I value time with my kiddos. But when I am with them I am constantly telling them no mommy does not have time to play, mommy has to do the laundry- mommy has to wash the bottles, mommy has to clean the house…. I have been so consumed with keeping up with things around the house and my kids are suffering the loss. It’s time I stop worrying if my house looks like a toy factory exploded and start playing with the escaped superheroes I find under my feet and dolls with tangled hair that need mommy’s help. I need to put the To Do list away and sit down and play candy land in the mess. Need to remember what my mom always says- people will know this house is lived in, not a display.








What I noticed is every single one of us struggles with truth in some way or another. Yet I know truth does exist. It is real! How do I know you might ask? Well we have a magnificent God that shows us the realness of truth. He says what he means and means what he says. I also see it in More than More. I see it in the actions of this amazing group of people. People who not only say they care- BUT ACTUALLY DO! I know it’s hard to believe a group of strangers from all different walks of life can become like a family. I didn’t believe it when I first joined More than More. Thought the idea of More sounded pretty exciting but was extremely doubtful. But then I sat down in a circle of strangers and immediately a super sweet gal sat down beside me and my fiancé and made us feel welcome- important- included- LOVED. Now about a year later this super sweet and super funny gal was mistaken to be my husband’s mom. You see this group is super cool. I mean it. Don’t let anything stop you from coming! You will be welcome as you are for who you are- and that is the TRUTH!







So if you are sick of the American society where lies are everywhere, politicians with beliefs not backed by actions, lies to our children, and dishonesty to get more money more stuff more success, and interested in a different way of living- a way where truth exists and people really matter…..Then come hang out with us on Thursday May 31st, from 6:45-8:00PM, at McAllister Recreation Center, just off 20th and Schuyler Ave, Lafayette. As always AMAZING childcare provided (really my kids beg to go back!)
