There was a year where I wanted to have a mantra. On New Year's Day I decided I would have one word that I would focus on for the year. I wanted to become this word. I chose "worthy".
However, focusing on my mantra did not help me accomplish that goal.
Instead, I realized something far more important.
We will never be worthy.
Ever. Sure, as people we are worthy of plenty of earthly things. We are worthy of respect and kindness. We are worthy of a lot, but we aren't worthy of our God.
We will never be worthy of Him. We are not worthy of His Grace. We are not worthy of His Love.
We never will be.
That's what is so cool about God.
We don't need to be "worthy".

Truth
How do we know what is true?
Do we base it off of proven fact or something arbitrary that we believe?
Is what is true for me the same as what is true for you?
How do we choose what to believe as fact or fiction? We can be so naive when we believe the media. We don't know how to think for ourselves or find our own information anymore.
It's refreshing to see a new generation wanting change. There is a wave of activists and peacemakers wanting equality and revolution.
Let the growth be exponential. We need it.

You Can't Do It on Your Own
"God won't give you more than you can handle."
I've heard this quote, and similar versions, so many times. I've even said it myself.
It's not true though!
God will give you more than you can handle on your own.
He wants you to lean on HIM when you're struggling, and not try to face it alone.
God works all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
How comforting is that?

End It!
Today, February 27th, was the awareness day for the organization End It Movement.
There are over 27 million men, women, and children that are victims to slavery.
Human trafficking is a serious issue.
These things are not just in other countries. They are hiding in the shadows around us everywhere.
No human should have the right to own another human.
Shine the Light on slavery.
Slavery still exists, and I WON'T STAND FOR IT.
Carry the message of FREEDOM to those around you.
Use your VOICE to spread awareness and love.
Those supporting the #enditmovement drew a red 'X' on their hands today to tell the world that it ends here.
You can find out more at their website.
Another AMAZING organization is Destiny's Rescue. They are dedicated to rescuing children from human trafficking and sexual exploitation. They state that there are an estimated 1.2 million children trafficked each year- the majority of them are lured, bribed, or forced into the sex trade. That's one child every 26 seconds!
Although this is heartbreaking stuff, it is important to be informed about what is going on in YOUR world.
Use your voice to bring freedom to the broken!
Our amazing God is the One who can rescue these. Pray.
Love will end it.
Agape for the least of these.

breathe
every second is a new opportunity.
we always think about seeing the glass as half empty or half full, but we should be grateful that we have a glass to begin with.
everyone makes mistakes.
it's so hard to forgive other people. sometimes, it can even be harder to forgive yourself.
take advantage of every moment you're given.

It's free?
Thank you, God.
John 3:16 "For God so loved [your name] that He gave his one and only Son, that [if, your name] believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
