How are you? I hope all is well with you and your children :)
So, this past weekend I went to a business networking brunch. ( very nice by the way)
While speaking with a group of new friends, the conversation of "being picky"
came up. One friend then said " You have the right to be picky, you have the right to be selective"
Wow I thought, that is so true.
So today, I wanted to encourage all of my young mom's and dads that you do have the right to be selective.
You do not have to settle for anything less than who you are just because you started a family as a teenager. Please don't ever feel that you have to settle for less of a life, less of a relationship, less of self love, less of anything!
You created a life, and you should celebrate your child! You have every right to continue to go to school, go to college, start a career, buying your first home,be happy in a relationship...being everything that you want to be. You have that right!
If people are going to talk about you, so what! Let them talk..you do not have to listen, or take in anything they say that does not add value to your life...
I remember how I felt while pregnant and after pregnancy. I felt the doubt from friends and family!
How could I possible be successful now ? I was 19 and pregnant!!? No job, No Education, and for a time no real place to live they thought...BUT GOD!
God really turned my situation around and blessed me with what I needed. I am allowing God to use my life as a showcase for his Glory. And you can do the same!
Prove everyone wrong. Those morning when you don't want to get out of bed, GET UP!! Those night when you are crying yourself to sleep..cry and then stop and rest. You are going to make it..Just take it day by day. But, in that process, You have the right to be selective and let NO ONE take that from you! Live!!!!
Soul Assignment:
1. Are you guilty of taking less than you deserve?
2. If so, why do you think that is?
