Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean no on your own understanding.
-Proverbs 3:5
Things in our life come and go. People in our life may only be there for a season. Events may come up unexpectedly. As humans we try to find a reason for everything. We try to understand every event or situation. We look at every detail to find reasoning in what happened. We question ourselves with "what if". What if I did this? What if they did that? We find it hard to comprehend the fact that the reason something happened is far beyond our understanding. It is far beyond our eyes can see.
God has his own reason for everything. Everything that happens in our life is planned out. We don't need to understand it. We don't need to question it. We just need to trust our Lord. He has our best interest in mind.
Lets pray that the Lord gives us his patience and his understanding. That he will teach us to lean on him and trust him with all of our hearts. That we will no longer question or search for reason but be filled with acceptance and comfort that our lives are in his hands.
"I cannot even begin to start to describe the way my life has changed since I have had the opportunity to represent Integrity Beauty. I am so thankful that I have been given the opportunity to use the trials I have experienced in my life and create a platform to help encourage women of all ages about domestic violence, learning to love and value your self. As I look at my crown I believe that each stone represents each life that I have helped to mentor, encourage and inspire.
IB is an awesome program to help women who have not only powerful stories and desire to have their voice heard, but to improve confidence and self esteem working as a team with a network of women with the same goal in mind. To promote Integrity and Excellence in our lives and our communities but also to give back to those who so desperately want to be loved and valued.
IB is the first program I have ever worked with that allows women to be heard and recognized for their life experience. IB does more than Heals Hearts and Inspire Lives, it creates a fire with in you to forgive your self for your past mistakes and passionately birth a desire to help as many as you can who are lost in this world."
