Love Like You Never Been Hurt


I am going to have a fun weekend...I am going to a dance on Sunday night just to kick up my heels a little. I feel like spring inside myself even though there is snow on the ground right now. I feel alive and ready to meet new people and expand my little world. I can't wait for a new chapter to open up for me and all I have to do is say "YES, I am ready!" I don't know what is going on inside myself but I feel so alive, and beautiful and so me. I have become a woman who is ready to take chances again and to be all that I was created to be. I have been taking care of my needs and making sure I am kind to myself and also learning to love the person I am, faults and all. I feel more like a woman than I have ever felt in my life and I feel I am on the verge of something new. I see myself standing on a hill, with the spring breeze blowing my hair and I smell the new budding flowers. They give off a wonderful fragrance that makes me smile. There is now no more winter in my heart and the ice is melting away so I can love with a pureness and deepness that is in me. To love someone is the greatest gift I could give or receive. Love is in my heart and I need to share it without the thought of rejection or hurt. I want to love in a way I have never done before, to give my heart to someone and to trust that he will care and love me as I am. It is a scary place but I am not going to live in fear because the Lord did not give me a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. That is the truth and I will love as if I have never been hurt!!

Beautiful


I noticed that advertisers want to make you feel that you are not good enough...How white do my teeth need to be? Is my hair shinny and soft enough? How thin must my body become? Are my eyelashes long enough? Am I beautiful? Wait a minute...I am beautiful even if I never achieve what is considered beauty! I am who I am with all the good parts that I like about myself and even the imperfections that I don't like. That is my beauty. Always be authentic and understand that being who you are is what real beauty is. Freedom to accept every part of you will lead to the beauty within and it will flow out of you and then you can say, without a doubt, " I am beautiful!"
