Sometimes it takes getting pushed to the very edge before you can find your voice and courage to speak out again. Sometimes it takes hitting that rock bottom to realize you’re done descending, and it’s time to rise. Sometimes it takes being told you’re nothing—being made to feel like you’re nothing—to help you see that you are complete.YOU. ARE. ENOUGH.

Sometimes you have to realize that you’ve HAD enough to realize that you ARE enough.

As it turns out, it was that very rock bottom that became the most firm foundation I had ever planted my feet on. A foundation so solid, it finally provided the springboard I needed to outrun that teasing, taunting shadow of unworthiness that had followed me my entire life.

Sometimes “no” is the most loving, gentle answer God can give.

The beauty of life is in its shades of light and dark, heartbreak and healing, joy and sadness, laughter and tears. Everything can't possibly be happy because then NOTHING would be happy.

You haven’t yet learned that your worth isn’t found in him. Or in the man before him. Or in any man at all.

Sometimes it takes great heartbreak to find great healing and even greater wholeness.

It's an audacious way to live, indeed, standing with the door to your heart and life wide open. But isn't that the REAL fairytale…a brave, bold, well-lived life?
