Sisters

Tonight was a new experience for me. All the girls on COM had a time of prayer and addressed something we were struggling with and a prayer for God's help. I was overwhelmed by all the women around me who struggled with a variety of things, things that I also struggle with at times. The new part for me is I wouldn't consider myself the one in need of prayer. I mean, I always can use prayer, but seeing the beautiful sister's around me struggling and suffering really inspired me to be a prayer warrior for them. It's the healthy soldiers that get sent to fight for the weak and hurting. For one of the first times in my life I'm in the state to be a warrior. My life is fairly easy. I'm waiting on grad school apps, my classes are light, my role in COM is fulfilled and I have lots of people helping me. I'm getting a real life definition of God lavishing me with blessings and realizing that his love and blessings are more abundant than we can imagine. Today I realized God had given me more blessings than I could imagine, and by then end of the day he had given me even more. "Morning by morning new mercies I see."  I am convinced that I am to pour out on others all the blessings that have been poured on me. I know God will be my strength so I can be a warrior for the amazing girls I am surrounded by.

Epiphany

I've discovered something very important and exciting today.

I like myself.

Quite a lot.

I think I'm fun, nice, pretty, loveable, kind, and so on an so on

Perhaps its all the extra endorphins from doing Zumba, or maybe, just maybe I've finally learned to love myself :)

Maybe both! Haha.

I don't think I'm perfect by any means, and I don't think I'm the most beautiful girl in the world. BUT, I am not ugly. And that's a-ok with me!

Either way, I'm worthy of love. I'm worthy of my own equivalent of prince charming, I'm worthy of being chased and my love being worked for. And there may not be an earthly man who does all those things. But that's ok. Because, I know my heavenly father does :)

Life is GOOD!
