Inspire

It has been awhile since my last posting. Life has such a way of getting crazy busy before I even realize it! This might be a very random posting, but I just feel that I need to say these few words.

Over the last week I have realized that God has clearly been placing new desires in my heart. I have felt God preparing me to write a book and speak publicly about living a full life in the midst of obstacles and uncertainty for a few years now. I am excited to announce that over the past week, God has confirmed these new desires through various circumstances (that I will dive into at another time). But for now, I simply want to take a brief moment to inspire you . . .

Whoever you are, it is not by chance that you are reading this blog. Whether you are a friend of mine or a random blog surfer passing some time, I truly believe that you have been led here for a reason. Dear friend, I want to inspire you by telling you that whatever you are going through right now, it will get better. I have been through a lot in my short life on this earth, and I can tell you that I have had some very dark days. Days when I was ready to give up and let my enemies win (one of those days actually happened within the last week!) But, the sun does shine again . . . I promise! Traveling through dark valleys is part of growing. It makes us stronger and able to handle future circumstances with a vigor we have never known. Stay postive, smile, and trust that the sun will shine again . . . soon.

If you are someone that is called into a position of leadership, allow me to inspire you with some words that were spoken to my heart by God this past week. "Leaders don't hide; they may be scared, but they don't hide. Leaders lead by example, by doing."

My new life's goal is to inspire people to be the best that they can; to realize that they can make it through life's struggles, no matter how dark it may seem at the moment, and that they will be stronger on the other side of those struggles! I also want to inspire people to become a healthier version of themselves so they can live a healthier life!

Please know that I don't claim to know everything or be a perfect person - I'm going through all of this just the same as everyone else, and I make my share of mistakes. But be inspired knowing that there is someone out there experiencing similar situations and surviving them. Believe me, if I can do it - so can you!

Have a blessed day. Be healthy - and be inspired!
