Things that make you say....HUMPH!

Hi Lovers! 

Everyone has their own struggles. Some struggle with Self-Esteem, others addiction, some being in a very hurtful relationship ship. I don't know about you...but these things just make me say HUMPH!! I hate seeing people struggle...and I hate to struggle myself. 

So what is my struggle you ask? HAHA...that is a really funny to ask because I have many struggles. If I were to narrow it down to one thought it would be self-worth.  The way my mind works is that there is always someone better out there for the "job".  I put job in quotes because I use that as a term for anything...a job as in teaching, a job as in being a friend, a job as in being a lover to someone....ect...more filling a roll.  I know in my head there is always someone out there better than I am so why would someone choose me when someone else has so much more to offer? I know that is a twisted way of thinking, I have been told it's a twisted way of thinking, God and I are working that out as we speak. But that is my struggle at it's core and it makes me go HUMPH!! It's not like I want to be this way...it's not like I asked for it....so why is this my struggle...especially when I know that God has made me perfect. Psalm 139:14 says "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." (NIV).  I mean hello?! We are made perfect! There is a purpose for us going through the struggles we do. Maybe it's because we need to be able to help someone else later in life. Perhaps God has a lesson for us to learn through it but just because we struggle doesn't mean we are less than the person sitting next to us. Because NEWS FLASH....they are struggling to...don't let them fool you!!!! This is something that after 30 years I am finally starting to grasp.  



Here is another verse I read one evening after I was having a really tough time....God showed me this and it instantly made me rethink why I was feeling so bad about myself. We ALL struggle ya'll...but God works in us and though us in those times.  

The hard times I have gone through is where Jer 29:11 became my life verse! I am not going to post it because I want you to go look it up and read it...

We all struggle but you should never be alone! Surround yourself with friends who you can turn to when you are "in a funk" (that is my term for my friends) and need someone. I have the best inner circle of friends who I can turn to no matter my mood or struggle and they are going to be there to listen to me. If you are reading this I know you struggle...what I don't know is if you have support for those dark times...please make sure you do! 

Have a great day and know you are loved!! 

xoxo!!
