How To Kick Your Own Butt Carol Mabe

There are only a few desires that I can remember consistently having within my life. I have always wanted a close-knit family including extended members, and I dreamed of helping others in a number of ways. Sad to say that otherwise I just existed by the days. My long-standing wish for family was to live fairly close to each other, enjoy being together, travel together, to support one another during difficult times and to be able to spend holidays and special moments as a family unit. I personally had planned on attending college, getting married once; staying together 'til death did us part, and to have four children. I would stay home and raise them working part-time until the fourth child entered school. My career dream was to be an elementary school teacher so after raising these four children I would step back into the classroom or open up my own tutoring business. I don't remember ever having had a conversation with anyone about how to make these things happen nor did I ever discuss what to do if my plan did not become reality. I am pouring into this book in prayer and hopes that you allow me to be your example of how not to self-sabotage, how to take what you currently have, walk in faith and turn it around. Use my story and me as one example of what God can do. Know you can begin right now no matter where you are and start fresh. It's never too late. You can do something. You can do anything with the strength of the Lord! I pray my story will encourage those who have currently given up on every aspect of life.
