Oh, how we forget...

It's so easy to get caught up in living day to day, we forgot where we came from. The struggles we encountered that made us who we are today. We can become so self – centered, so caught up in our own existence, we forget about you. We forget, you’re GOD. How when we were sick and thought it was over, you were there to heal. When times were hard and no one answered the phone; you were there to provide. It's easy to forget, when you’re living in the sunshine and the flowers are blooming. We forget, that it took a lot of rain and plowing to get that soil just right for those flowers to blossom.

We forget, but I'm thankful for the daily reminders around me. The people I see on the level I used to be at, and mature enough to not judge them, and instead able to share my story of how you bought me out of darkness and you can do the same for them. This is what it's about, not being afraid of the rain and instead using it as an opportunity for development. Not being afraid of your thorns and sharing your story to heal others. Knowing, it’s not about me; it’s about what’s in me. Think about it, when you see a ROSE, you don’t talk about the thorns, you just see the beauty of the ROSE. Show off the beauty in you, by wearing your thorns as a crown.
