Being vulnerable

Okay, so I was talking to a great friend of mine for a while tonight. He was very supportive but most of all, VERY honest with me about my Blog. Thank you Ty!!

So, here it is, I know I have been playing it "safe". I wanted everyone to feel good at the end of the day. My goal will always be to inspire anyone who is or has been in a difficult situation, see that there is hope. BECAUSE ~ There is!

That message is still what I strive to convey, however, I must be honest with my followers if I am to establish credibility. Truth be told, everything is not always coming up roses for me! Sometimes, I am very sad. Sometimes, I struggle, just like you.

At the risk of sounding cliche (there goes that WORD again) and in spite of my sadness I MUST go on. I have no choice. Let's face it, Shit happens! That is life. But there is no way that I will lay down and just be a victim. Been through too much in my young life to be defeated by this!

I am a faithful Child of God ~ but yes, I do get scared. Sometimes, I cry myself to sleep. Yes, I worry. But when I am still, I can actually hear God speaking to me. Being still however, is not always easy when you are a worrier like me. So I pray ~ a lot!

I am also a Mommy therefore I absolutely MUST be STRONG for my babies. They are my GIFTS from God. All of my pain has been worth it because I was Blessed to have them and believe me, I get it. They look up to me. They need me and I need them!

Ultimately, the responsibility of raising these beauties into becoming productive, loving, kind, Children of God rests solely with me. I am not going to let any one or thing prevent me from this privilege. Period!

Do you know what gets me through my fear of the "unknown"? Faith, Trust and an Inner Strength that I KNOW for a fact comes directly from God. I am no different than you and this certainly is not the first time I have faced and overcome a difficult situation.

So now you know, I am human and sometimes doubt will try and sneak in. It is okay for tomorrow is new day and a chance to start again with a clean slate.

God knows ours hearts and more importantly, He knows the answers to our questions before we even ask. Being vulnerable gives you courage to do things you never imagined you could do.

Hard work makes you stronger. Mistakes make you wiser. Sadness makes you human and happiness makes you sweet. Tomorrow is full of promise and the BEST is yet to come...Just My Two Cents
