Who am I?

Who am I? I have asked myself this question all my life.

I am sure all of us have asked this same question.

I have struggled all my life with many different things.

It's hard hiding behind a smile. It's hard holding it altogether.
It's hard living up to what others expect of you. It's hard not feeling like a failure.
Maybe I am not alone............

Who I am? I am  a mother who feels at times that I am failing my children.

Who am I? I am a woman who feels insecure at times that it creates anxiety for me to go out in public with my husband, children and friends.

Who am I? I am a wife who has always sought the approval of a man.

Who am I? I am still a little girl at heart who has been hurt.

Who am I? I am a child of God.



I may fail but God picks me and carries me.

I may feel insecure at times but I am learning to embrace who God has created me to be.

I may have sought my approval through a man but my value comes from GOD and ONLY GOD!

I may still be that little girl at heart with hurts but God has turned those hurts into scars.

You see, we are all in this thing together. We all have faced struggles, disappointments and we all have fears.  I have survived the ultimate betrayal in my last marriage and God restored my life!
I have overcome the obstacles that were supposed to break me down but God carried me through them. Writing this piece has been one of the most difficult things because it shows you who I really am. It shows you my struggles. It shows you my insecurities and failures but this does not define me.
Your mistakes, failures,struggles or fears do not define you.

YOU ARE ENOUGH!
YOU ARE LOVED!
YOU ARE VALUABLE!

The next time you are having self doubt, insecurity,fear, disappointment; I want to encourage you that You are not alone. You have a purpose! You are a survivor! YOU are enough! YOU are loved!!!!
