Power trip

Not sure why….but lately I’ve been letting people make me feel like crap and that’s not okay. I don’t need anyone else’s subjective, unimportant opinions about me to make me feel validated. I AM VALID! I am so sick of caring so much about other people’s opinions that I let it frame me. I’m done. I’m breaking off every negative relationship I have with anyone. I’m a good woman, who is beautiful (MY subjective opinion), loves Jesus and is going somewhere with her life. If you want to try to sit around and waste my time by dragging me down, you’re going to have to move on because you’ve got the wrong girl. I’m feeling empowered tonight, and that’s that. I don’t care if I have to be by myself, because I’ve got God on my side, and that’s all I need.

I'm a failure!

I am feeling very inspired tonight. I thought I would blog about a special moment I had once with my uncle, and it's sticking out in my mind tonight.
While my uncle and I were discussing life, a few things from our conversation saturate my mind. "You are destined for failure," he said to me. With shock, I looked at him, hurt. "Well, thanks."
"Brittany all the greatest people were destined for failure. Look in the Bible. David was the youngest and the smallest, but took down a giant. Moses had a speech problem, but went on to talk to thousands. Jacob was a liar. You've been destined for failure your whole life. Set up to fall. You were abused from the beginning, shunned by your own mother. Everyone in school always rejected you. [It's because you have something great destined for you and you must overcome these things.]"

The last sentence is in brackets because I don't remember his words exactly for that last part like I do the rest.

First I was offended, then I realized what beauty his words held. I try to remember this when I'm having an off day.

Thank you Unce. <3 Your wisdom means so much to me.
