Speak Up!

 

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, it is my prayer that RIGHT NOW in THIS MOMENT you would know and believe with your whole entire heart that YOU ARE LOVED.

I don’t know what you’re going through, I don’t know what you’re going to face.

I’m 30.  You could argue that I haven’t had enough life experiences to be writing on this.  But I can assure you that in the 30 years of my life I have had tough days, I’ve had those rock bottom days where I felt like giving up or giving in were my only options.

I do know that tough days are inevitable.  Tough days don’t make a tough life.

Handle with care.

Love deeper.

Speak UP.  Speak MORE.  Do NOT remain silent.

I am not a quiet woman.  I have said the prayer that the Lord would teach me to be meek and mild.  I’ve heard him say that isn’t me.  I was not made to be silent.  I was made to SPEAK.

Since being set free from my fear of showing feelings, I now wear them around on my sleeve.

The benefit to this is that when I’m down, anyone can tell.  Those that don’t remain silent speak up and lift me up again.

 

I fear for those who hide their sadness too well.  For those are the people that trick us into believing they are okay, when they really aren’t.

 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  John 3:16
