How do we know if the love is real? We are cherished for who we are.
Thank you, mama
for knowing what love should look like
for giving it with all your heart
for believing you deserve it in return

More than Love

Ok, a little reality check.
Love is amazing.
Love comes in all forms.
To feel love in some form is a necessity in our lives.
But love is not all we need.
And when we start thinking this way
we are in for big disappointment.
A possible song title:
“Communication, patience, understanding, compassion,
humor, practicality, a sense of responsibility,
and the knowledge that no one is going to
perfectly meet all my needs…
is all you need”
Hmmm…
I don’t think that would have made the Top 40.
Kindness

Am I kind to myself?
Or am I harsh with the words I repeat in my head?
Am I critical of me?
Or can I be gentle when I fail?
Plant
Kindness
Grow
Love
Being able to love myself for who I am starts with kindness to myself
Imagination

I have a pretty good imagination
I can make up stories
about far away places
fairies and goblins
heroes and damsels
I can make up stories
that are closer to home
about what you are thinking
who you think you are
why you did what you did
But none of my stories
can touch
the wonder
the amazing story
about the depth
of God’s love
for
ME.
Thank you, Lord
for not being limited
to my imagination
I will love me for me

What does love
feel like,
look like,
sound like
to you?
The answer will be so different for each of us…
I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section!
Freedom in His Grace

There is freedom in His grace
it covers all that I am
all the mistakes that I make
all the wounds that I wear
When I actually stop
trying to do it all myself
and allow brokenness to bubble up
He handles everything
Lord, help me to remember
today and every day
I am complete
I am free
in you.
No Rescue Needed

I do not need someone to rescue me
I am capable of
making sure I am cared for and loved
making sure I am safe and secure
in fact – here I am 🙂
I can charge ahead on my own majestic horse
lift my own circumstances
free myself from negative influences
connect with the power of God
in me
and rescue myself
I deserve it and I can do it
Don’t See me as Perfect

Another romantic comedy
flits to my mind
the idea that someone would “See me as perfect”
creates fear of it’s own kind
It’s not endearing
to see a false version of me
It makes me feel pressure
and wonder who you want me to be
I am me
Perfection only in God’s eyes
let’s keep it real between us
no romanticized lies
You are a…

You are a …
mother, father, wife, husband, daughter, son,
leader, assistant, friend, teacher, student, counselor,
nurse, lover, fighter, musician, poet,
sister, brother, man, woman…
None of it defines who you are.
None of it speaks to your value or worth.
No matter what you do, no matter what roles you have in life
You have value just in being you.
