Women supporting women

 

I've been thinking a lot about the term "Women supporting women".  In my entire life I have only had a few friends who really embodied that term. Ones who will go above and beyond to show support for you, be your biggest cheerleader. Free of jealousy, comparison, and drama. Why is that so hard to find? Why is it a term so hard to grasp for women. I know there is the part where you don't feel good enough where you are at. Whether its professionally, physically, spiritually etc. There's always going to be that mentality tucked down deep down inside, that someone is better than you or that they have a life that you want. 

It's time to break free of that mindset and get to working on yourself. 

I think when we are fulfilled in our own lives, focused on doing what God has called us to do, then we can't even see what other people are doing. 

 

After a very difficult month. I realize even more now the importance of having your people. There's no time for us women to cause problems with each other. Not when we are dealing with our own day to day stuff, or dealing with real life issues. 

It goes back to the golden rule "Treat others how you want to be treated". Seems simple enough right?

I completely understand being pitted against one another. Maybe it starts in our youth. You have friends who ditch you because they like someone better. You get dumped for someone else in a relationship. It’s hard to get through those things. I wish it weren’t like this. I wish we could bypass all that time that it takes us to get to the place where we are confident in ourselves. So that we can know that we are worth so much. We are valuable. Maybe that’s the foundation of the issue? 

I’m so glad that I have a group of friends who support one another, encourage each other. It takes time to find the right people you can trust, that you feel safe with. Just know that they are out there. You just have to look for them.

Uncommon Faith

 

 

It's been a hard week. I don't think I've slept very much. You know those times where you figure out what you are made out of. A test of putting your money where your mouth is. An opportunity to live out the words you have been saying. The words you say out loud to yourself and to the world. 

The truth is here we are again. Here we are faced with another difficult thing. Things that don't feel fair, things that make you feel angry. 

Here's the thing. 

You are allowed to be angry. You are allowed to cry. You are allowed to be scared. 

As long as at the end of the day you get back up. 

You pull yourself back up from the floor that you've been crying on.

You tell yourself "God I trust in you. Even when I feel like this, I trust in you!

I'm sorry to be vague. But so much is going through my head right now. So many different emotions. 

I will just leave you with this verse

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep in perfect peace
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust in you.

 

Miss those lazy days

I wanted to get this post out but I am busy getting some work done. You know how it goes "adulting" on the weekends. I miss those days where work wasn't on my mind all the time. Or I didn't organize my schedule correctly and I am playing catch up. Or I plan too many social gatherings on the weekdays. 

While I go figure that out! 

Check this Saturday outfit out.

Hope you are relaxing on this lovely holiday weekend. Pray for me that I get all my stuff done so I can go be a kid with my kids.
