Warrior

"The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness." -Pope Benedict XVI

A few months ago I was talking to God and I was having trouble understanding where He was coming from. I really wanted to see what He saw and so I asked Him. "God I want to see Your daughters as You see them, show me how You feel about them." What I got was incredible, ladies let me just say, He is completely and utterly enamored with you. Each and every one of you and you were all made to be great. Every attack on your life is geared at making sure you don't become everything you were made to be.

You were not put on this earth to take a backseat you are a freaking warrior and we need you. It makes me so sad when I hear people say, "well I'm just going to sit in the back and hope no one calls on me to make something of myself" NO!!! You were made for signs and wonders, you were made to change the world. There are hurting people in this world that need YOU, you have things to offer this world that no one else does. You have life experience and a voice that is yours alone. You also have a choice.

To believe the lie that you don't have anything to offer

To believe that you don't have any gifts

To believe that your past disqualifies you from what God thought He had planned for you.

Or you can choose to believe the truth. And the truth is that you have an irreplaceable role to play in this world. Sister there is nothing in your past that could ever exclude you from the greatness God has planned for you. In fact, He loves to use our past to help us love others. I still have so much I need to work through and there is a lot in my life that isn't where I want it to be yet but I have made a vow to not live small. My life will mean something and I will do great things. Each of you have the same authority and have the power to make that same decision.

Fight for your families, for yourself, for those who haven't found their voice yet. It's ok to be a little scared of what the future looks like but never let that keep you from taking that first step. You have an incredible future ahead of you, don't let anyone rob you of that.
