Love YOURSELF the way you are......

So as i have sat here and thought about the reason i started this blog i cant help but truly believe that its done excatly what i had hoped it would do...Inspire me to be ME! I named the link "inspiretobe" because i was just that .... inspired, by  many very special people that God blessed me with having in my life! I wanted to start something that would help remember and reflect on times through out my life... bad and good, happy or sad! I wanted something that would always remind me of what i went through and why i am now the person i am because of those things. As many of you know i am a strong believer in the fact that your past and your hardships make you who you are, as i ve stated in several of my post BUT i  also believe that even those good memories make you who you are too... those memories that you can replay in your head over and over and they never get old... those breathtaking moments that only keep you wanting  coming back for more! Life is such a beautiful and amazing wonder ... and i hope that we can all keep sight in the fact that just being alive is a SIGNIFICANT blessing! I am someone that thinks with my heart in everything that i do! some admire that some say that its a road to many heartaches... maybe it is! but its ME! I am also someone that relates to everyone in some kinda of way... as i was on the phone with my best friend ellen tonight she reminded me that I relate to everyone in some type of emotion or another... and she is right but thats the side of me that i know God has called on me to do for the rest of my life ... Counsel. I am also someone that doesnt confuse words much... i tell you what i think, my mother has always told me i am brutually honest.. i figure well mine as well cut out all the sugar coating and tell people what they want to hear which is the truth believe it or not ..one day they will appreciate the honesty. I dont go for anything less than i deserve and i hate to see anyone settle. no one deserves that in any aspect of their life.... kids and people in need are my passion... I never want to "fix" or "change" anyone in need of anything in their life I just want to HELP them and with God next me i know that i can do just that for anyone he brings to me to do so with. I consider myself a fence rider.. i see both sides to everything.. bc what you have to realize is that there is always both sides to peoples feelings but the things i feel strongly about on EACH side of the fence I NEVER back down from... I am a girl who knows excatly what she wants in life.... I am also a girl that has a problem with not always knowing my next move or puzzle piece to life .. but just recently God has been showing me thats ok and that i better be ok with it bc thats his way regardless! I ve learned that if you want to hear God laugh just write down all your plans in life.. and give him the eraser bc he will or has already erased some of your plans you had for yourself... I prayed for patience and trust in God and i believe he has stuck me in just a situation that has brought me just the opprotunity to do BOTH.... you see i believe whole heartly thats what he does.. he doesnt just give you what you ask for he gives you the chance to obtain those things.... like for instance patience and trust!

I could go on and on about all the things I am and why and how ... and what I ve been through in life to make me become that way bc today and even this weekend i ve thought about this a lot.... but the ONE thing I know i am for sure is a daughter to a WONDERFUL God thats Grace is overflowing and his love never runs out for me! He will always love me for ME! He will always provide and his word is the truth and will always prevail! I have to constantly remind myself that he knows what he is doing up there.. and you just have to TRUST. And when your given opprotunities ... Take them.. throw yourself out there and be YOU ... your uniqness is what makes you different from everyone else... as the Dr Suess saying goes... "Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”..... so I encourage everyone to be you... Fall in love with life and know that everyday holds the possibility of a miracle... stop waiting and start doing with your life.. bc after all it is your life...its your time to shine.. for everyone that walks out of your life...bless them bc they are only making room for those that walk into your life...realize that your happiness will always play hide and seek with you if you look for it in all the wrong places...dont be scared to be different.. authenicity is something i ve always thought  as a trait to be admired....Consider the fact that your trials maybe your treasure....never live in your past....people only cling to the past out of fear that nothing else better will come along, and thats so far from the truth....choose to forgive those that have hurt you... you take away their power .... and when the past calls press ignore it has nothing new to say ...  never take no for an answer when your going after something you love ....... and  make no apologies for what you ARE and for what your NOT.

So Inspire to be you... just you, whoever that maybe never let a soul in the world tell you that you cant be excatly who you are! Take chances and BE YOU when you do... and trust God .... he is always there.

" A joyful heart makes a cheerful face"-Proverbs 15:13
Smile and be you and have Joy in your heart that he Loves you for YOU!
