She Is Blooming....

Once, there was a little girl with big dreams. 

Once, she was told she would never live to see them be reality. 

Once, people came along who told her who she truly could be. 

And because of those people, she is blooming. 

There are so many moments I could share from my life that sum up what I wrote above. However, at the moment I’m not thinking of me.  

I’m thinking of the little girl sitting in her classroom being bullied because she’s different. 

I’m thinking of the mom who just found out that her child will never be “normal.” 

I’m thinking of the college student who feels like they’ll never measure up to a high standard of achievement. 

I’m thinking of the person who just found out they don’t have long to live; And maybe they feel like they don’t have anything to give. 

No matter if you fall into one of those categories or another, if you’re still here, you have something to give. You have a reason to smile, laugh, cry, or something in between. 

Who knows what will happen? Maybe you will see your dreams become reality, or maybe you won’t. 

But it’s the people that you surround yourself with that can help you accomplish those things. It’s those people that encourage you, champion you, and push you beyond your comfort zone that help you become more. 


Hang on to to close friends. You won’t regret it. They’ll help you to continue to grow. 🌸

By Faith

These 2 words have been a reoccurring theme In my life lately. Remembering how important it is to live by FAITH & not by sight is definitely more easier said than done. However, when urs done right amazing things happen!  I was recently reading Not Part of the Plan by @krstnclark + & @bethany.beal. One of the chapters focuses on the importance & results that the Bible gives to us about living by faith.  Hebrews 11 is such an encouraging chapter. It never says by feeling Noah built the ark or by feeling Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born. It focus on the fact that those people didn’t always know what the end result would be. However they did take steps of faith.  My Saturday thoughts. πŸ’­

Growth

  Last year around this time, I wrote about how 2021 had been a year of learning. I said, “2021 has been a year of learning for me. Learning to trust, learning to let go, learning how to grieve with Christ’s hope, and learning how to have grace on myself while walking through these journeys.“ This time last year I had no clue what 2022 would be like for me. If I had to assign a word to its experiences as I did last year, I’d choose growth. Not only because I’ve grown through what I’d coined as the year of learning. But I’ve also become more aware of the growth in others as well as myself.  Growth in character, in the understanding of The Word, in willingness to learn new things, and more.  Training myself to recognize growth in others takes practice for me. It’s one of those things that usually requires me to sit back and observe without saying anything at all, instead of my default. AKA get up and go extroverted self. However, it’s one of the most rewarding things ...

Someone Special Gave Me a Pen

  It’s funny how little things can instantly bring back memories. Someone special gave me a pen… That someone was a person who loved others, gave their time & talents to serve others, would make sure that anyone knew Jesus loved them— that person is no longer with us.  Even though I miss her terribly, I know she’s with Jesus & that I’ll see her again. It’s been over a year since she passed and honestly, I’d forgotten about the pen by now.  I carried it with me from time to time, then life happened and it ended up being a sweet memory of a kind gesture.  I can honestly say that I don’t remember exactly why she gave me the pen, but it was the thoughtfulness that meant so much more to me than the item itself.  Little things can be powerful reminders of a person’s legacy. 🫢🏻
