"You are better than this & can’t continue to allow your fear to be greater than your faith."

Something new is on your horizon

Hey girl, 

So I think it’s time we had our talk.  I realize these last few months have been difficult, bringing more downs than ups.  I saw your sadness, felt your heartbreak and even gave you permission to lose yourself for a bit.  You were scared and at times still are.  The things you saw for yourself have not come to fruition like you’d hoped and wanted them to.  But I know you can’t give a testimony without a test.  I also know that you are better than this and can’t continue to allow your fear to be greater than your faith.

I know you can’t give a testimony without a test.  I also know that you are better than this and can’t continue to allow your fear to be greater than your faith.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, it’s time for our “Come to Jesus’ moment.  IntentionalClarityCourage.  Those were the three words you promised yourself...  So far so good.  You are on the right track.  Even if you currently are not where you had hoped to be at this time, it’s okay; you certainly aren’t where you were two years ago.  Life is not a sprint, but a marathon.  Stay patient and trust your journey.  Continue to be in the moment so that you are aware and constantly moving past those learned lessons (not failures).  I see that you are just learning how to love yourself.  As the caring, selfless, giving and forgiving individual you are to others, it’s time to be that to you.  Protect your energy and continue to focus on growth.  You have an identity, a voice and a purpose.  Stop doubting yourself.  You matter.  YOU.  ARE.  QUALIFIED. You are Liz and Martha’s granddaughter.  

Last, don’t forget to breathe.  Now cut the bulls**t, remember who the f*** you are and let’s get to work.

Eternal love from, 

The best part of you
