Dance Upon Disappointment

" Awake my soul to sing with Your breath in me, I will worship. You taught my feet to dance upon disappointment and I will worship. "

One thing I have found is that you will be disappointed or let down in this life, But with Him I have found the strength to dance in the midst of it all.

Just To Clarify

"Leadership is influence, not title." Who are you influencing? Are you living what you preach? Make sure and live a life to be proud of. You may have no idea who you are influencing so make sure and give a great example of a life well lived. Every decision matters.

 

Also, took this picture at the Biltmore is Asheville, such a beautiful place!

Natural

Was recently a part of a photo-shoot where we were not allowed to wear any makeup. I was really nervous to be a part because I never leave my house without even mascara on, but it turned out to be really fun. Doing things like this make me realize makeup doesn't make you beautiful. Confidence, class, bravery, kindness.... that's what makes you beautiful.

Unique

" Being different is a revolving door in your life where secure people enter and insecure exit." - Shannon Alder

We need to understand that when people leave you or make you feel like you aren't enough, that it is actually a reflection of who they are and their own insecurities.

 

Feeling unique in this ensemble: Dress - Eliza J., Black pumps - Antonio Melani, Hat - Vintage piece I found in an antique shop :)

"Love"

Sometimes I feel God allows us to have negative or bad relationships just to show us how different His love is. His love is unconditional, it is never insecure, it never questions whether you are worth it. To Him you are always worth it. I know for me I need to start being more careful who I let have some of my heart. Will they take care of it like God, or will they just use it and throw it away when they do not want it anymore? Guard your heart.

The Voice

" Make sure the voices that you are listening to are constructive and not destructive. What informs us forms us." This is something I have really been battling lately. I tend to focus on the one negative thing done or said and ignore ten nice things. It is so important to have a positive view of yourself. If you do not love yourself, how can you show love to others? I have got to start blocking out the negative and believing the positive. Choose happy!

A Time To Reflect

~ I used to recognize myself, it's funny how reflections change. And we are becoming something else, I think it's time to walk away. ~
