Life is Messy

My life in a word has been messy. Amazing, adventurous and fulfilling, but nevertheless, messy. 

I’ve been a single mom for pretty much ever. I’m divorced twice with two children from two different dads. I’ve lived at the poverty level and enjoyed financial freedom. I’ve had to learn hard lessons the hard way. Yet, I am also an apt teacher, a respected professional and an innovative entrepreneur. Trust me, you have what it takes within you to do awesome things!

Messy doesn’t have to mean incapable, daft or unenlightened. The truth is we’re all some degree of messy, that’s what makes us relatable. It’s how we help others, sharing what we’ve faced and how we fought through it. Your mess isn’t who you are, but rather what you’ve overcome. Your mess can be your greatest masterpiece – your legacy of living, not surviving.

Be reachable and teachable. Learn how to be resilient, persevere when every ounce of you says give up, and discover what unrelenting determination feels like. Boldness, courage, vulnerability, and humility are required. 

 

I prayed for clarity and was given courage to face my fears.

I prayed for hardship to pass quickly, and I learned patience to walk out my healing.

I prayed for restoration and endured heartache to teach me true forgiveness.

I prayed for strength and was given endurance to run the race.

I prayed for what I wanted. The answers were what I needed.
