You’re beautiful because you were created with a specific purpose and a destiny…
You’re beautiful because of the light that you shed into the lives of so many…
You’re beautiful because even though people have failed you over and over…you still choose to love and forgive
You’re beautiful because you’re kind, loving and so gracious
You’re beautiful because the dreams you dream are to help others be their best…
You’re beautiful because success means fulfilling your purpose and has nothing to do with your possessions or what type of handbags you carry…
You’re beautiful because you see the good in others and not just the reflection of the bad from their pasts…
Your beautiful because your always seeking to be better by knowing your Creator better…
Your beauty runs deep…not because it’s from what you look like or what you have, but because it comes from your heart and your desire to be a help to those in need…
You’re beautiful just because you are you💜

SHE…
She woke up one morning and finally realized that she could do all that she feared she couldn’t before…
Every dream that seemed so far away now looked as if it was now within her reach…
All the things that she secretly desired no longer felt as if they were meant for someone else…
She finally realized that all that she ever needed was within her and that she was the only one who could give her life meaning.
She realized it.
She did the work.
She lived the life she always dreamed about…
Sometimes…
Sometimes the things/circumstances that catch you off guard and cause you to question everything…are the very things that you needed to elevate you to where you need to be❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy the journey!!!
Enjoy the Journey…🚗💨
“Enjoy the journey”…those are the exact words my husband looked up from his book and told me this morning.
I said ok halfheartedly and kept busy with the task at hand. He laughed, came back and said “Babe there’s joy in everything. Don’t get so caught up in the future and the things to come that you don’t enjoy everything that we’re already so blessed with”.
This is true.
As of lately, I have been caught up in what I want instead of being being thankful for what I do have.
There’s not a lot that I have to complain about but those few things that aren’t as I would like them at the moment have been made my focus instead of my petition….
With that being said, I’m taking the time today to enjoy the journey. There are so many things that I can be thankful for and that’s what I’m choosing to do….xo
The Mental Shift…
Some days are harder than others…and for me, today started out as one of those days. Just as I’m writing this, I thought about the things that are going on and what I’ve been doing about them.
Yes I’ve prayed and thanked God for the best possible outcome. But I’ve been mulling over the worst in my mind…thinking about the worst case scenario, going over what I would say if the unwanted thing happened and honestly just being inwardly angry.
Angry because I’m frustrated with the situation and the thing that seems to get better only temporarily.
As I’m seeing this now, it’s time to mentally shift my focus. Shift it from the “what if’s” to the “this is what I believe”.
I believe that all things are working together for my good and that God is concerned about me…therefore, I don’t have to get caught up in the negative cycle of thoughts!
Think the best. Expect the best. This will be on mental repeat for me!
Although things don’t always go as planned, we can choose to see the best and not the worst…and that’s the choice that I’m choosing to make✌️
What Came From Being Outside Of My Comfort Zone…
“Great things never come from comfort zones”
I seen this quote today and it totally resonated deep within me. It seems as if for the past few months very few things I have done have been within my comfort zone. You see, I’m an introvert and I thrive in small, routine based settings. And for the last three months my life has been anything but what I’m used too.
We left our small church, my husband is head coach of a high school football (which came with rebuilding a program and me being a big part of the booster club), I’m volunteering as a leader in a teen/young mom group, our children are all starting a new school, I went to my first writers retreat w/new people and 90% of the people I have been interacting w/as of lately are new.
Although at times all the new things that are going on make my head spin and cause exhaustion, it’s all exciting! It’s exciting to do things that in the past would cause me to either shrink in fear or be stagnant,knowing that to move and do something different would push me to new limits.
Throughout it all, I’m thankful.
I’m thankful to be in a place where I’m forced to see and do things differently than before. Being outside of my comfort zone has caused me to grow and nurture the woman that I am destined to become. New opportunities and relationships, a changed mind and a beautiful portrait of what’s to come came from being outside of my comfort zone…xo
