I AM

I AM: Strong, I would have to be having been through so much and not having lost it all.

I AM: Weak, it does not take anything away from my strength, it just means that I am human.

I AM: Blessed, sometimes I do not say that enough--sometimes I don't believe it. But I am, more than I know.

I AM: Loved, because i am a child of the most high God. I am loved by people who do not even know me, and I am loved because He loves me.

I AM: Humbled by the encouragment of a young woman who I met through this blog, who more than anyone else has made me want to hug her many days and tell her I wish that she were not so far away. To tell her that she embodies all the things that I strive to become through this journey.

I AM: Learning that all of the things that I am does not lessen all the things that I will become. I am being molded and shaped, and that hurts. I am being changed daily and that is a very uncomfortable process.

I AM: Going to be better today than I was yesterday, and I am going to struggle, hurt, love, be loved, I am going to be humbled, and I am going to learn, but of all these things I am still going to be a child of a God who loves me, and because of that I am going to grow.
