I recently had the pleasure to go see the movie, I Feel Pretty. Definitely a chick flick, but very good with a great message. There was one point in the movie, in which she questioned her abilities based on her looks, thinking people would question her because of how she looked. As a woman, I have struggled with insecurities and a lack of confidence. Growing up I was pretty confident in myself and my abilities, I would even say I would encourage others to think more of themselves.

Keep Going
Have you ever just wanted to give up? I sure have! Perhaps it’s just me, but there are times when I just want to give up. So I have a confession, I’m not perfect.

Love is
This morning I had the opportunity to watch/listen to the sermon of the #royalwedding, and oh what a treat it was. The Most Rev. Michael Bruce Curry reminded us of the power of love! Scripture tells us, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV).” If we all walked in love what would this world be…
