I am a passionate woman. I value myself for who I am and what I have been through. My mind is the most powerful thing and so I encourage growth. There is no beauty without pain. We do not know light without darkness. And happiness can only be seen through sadness. These are just fundamental things. But I believe knowing the strength in the essentials of life is key to internal contentment. I thank God for all things because I see and feel his work all around me everyday. When the sun shines, when I feel the air rush through my lungs when I run, and when I sit in silence by myself. I know I take this life for granted. So I am learning to listen better, pray a little deeper, and humble myself. To me nothing is a coincidence. He is listening and guiding me. Everyday I learn something new. Thank you than you thank you lord and may I keep my arms open to all your blessings.
