Really hard.
There comes moments when you completely doubt yourself. You feel like nothing you can do is right, overwhelmed with a sense of worthlessness and imperfection.
And often world wants you to stay feeling that way. Maybe even some people around you want you to be stuck with those feelings; whether they may be friends, family, or simply an acquaintance.
Because you're not good enough, right? Who are you to decide that you are worth something? Those around you are clearly the ones who would know your worth.
Wrong....wrong,...WRONG!!!
I have this on my mind all week, caught up in those same feelings like many of you have had. Feeling the struggle to know my worth....or even to know what my worth was....
And you know what I realized? My worth isn't something for someone else to decide. It is mine. God loves imperfect things with an incomprehensible measure.
To Him, I matter. He loves me. He believes in me. My purpose is great.
Because at the end of the day, the world does not decide my worth. My past, present and future does not designate my worth. My worth does not come from what someone else thinks. My worth comes from my loving God....and from how He sees me. And you know what? He will never sees me as my flaws, but he sees me as who I can become. He will always see my potential for greatness.
After all, God makes no mistakes.
So, I am not a mistake.
And neither are you. Whoever you are, who has stumbled across this. Your purpose is great. You have infinite worth. There is a reason you are here.
When you can't see that in yourself, know He does. Your story is a glorious one, with every chapter, with every heartbreak, with every trial. You are His.
Happily ever after is real, for each of us.
One that note, since I have taken a rather long break from blogging....here are some photos from the past month! I am truly so blessed.
Becca Stewart came home! She is truly, incredibly amazing. I sure love her! Little does that cute boy know he has one of the coolest aunts.
We celebrated our first anniversary! I couldn't be happier! Though who knew cake isn't as great after 1 year? As you can see, we had quite an amazing anniversary dinner.
Oh Christmas. Truly the best time of the year! I feel like I blinked and it flew by.
We were given matching sweats....I know what you're thinking....with how attractive we look....you want a pair of your own.
I love this dashingly handsome man more than anything. He helps me learn even more what love is every day.
Here's to a whole new year!
