Expressions of Myself

Good Morning Lovely How many times have you heard these words "You are worthless", "Sorry excuse for a mother", "You are nothing!!", "You are NOT worth it!" , "You are a hypocrite", "You are nothing but a...(fill in the blanks)". Oh boy what a way to start a blog of ENCOURAGEMENT...Please bare with me for a moment while I share my heart. I have heard these exact words over and over and as the years went on those words became less and less, why am I sharing this because I struggle when I get lashed out at with words like this  words that attack my character as a person , words that degrade me as a human being. So what do I do when I get attacked like this , I fight back , I fight back with my words, my bad behavior and I look nothing like the "model" Christian anything but that... I have struggled with this every time God has told "be still" and every time the taunts become too much the words ring in

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberate others.- Marianne Williamson I wanted to start writing again and so I thought I would share my favorite quote. enjoy!
