i am awesome

so, i really liked this video the first time i saw it. i actually got teary eyed. i have actually seen this a few times.

 but there was something about today...being in a room full of women (thirty-one sisters) and seeing it on the big screen... it truly became an inspiration to me.

take a look at the video then read the rest of this post...

i listened/watched it again with you and yes i'm crying. i think about so many women...my mom, grandma, sister and friends...i think about myself. i don't think many of us give ourselves the credit of who we are...how God made us.

we are fearfully and wonderfully made and we are awesome...

because of HIM!!

what a revelation...

you are beautiful, you are smart, you are funny, you are kind, you are unique

you are worthy of love and affection, you are never too much and you are always enough.

you are precious, you are a diamond a rose a pearl, the most stunning of all God's creations

you are worth more than you could ever imagine.

worth more than the numbers on the scale or the hair product you use or the shoes you wear

more than how many girls wish they were you or how many guys wish they had you

more than the price tags on your clothes or the percentage at the top of your math test

or even the number of followers you have on twitter

your worth surpasses all earthly things because in the eyes of the Lord God, you are loved.

and you are worth dying for, 

regardless of who you think you are

whether you model in a magazine or you model pottery with grandma

whether you're on the hot list or the not list, whether you're head cheerleader or a high school drop out

whether you're miss popular or you've never had anyone you could call a friend

whether you love yourself and love your life or you cant stand to look in the mirror

and you feel as if everything in your life is falling apart

whether you're such a winner or you feel like the worlds biggest failure

regardless of who you think you are the reality is...is that you deserve someone who would give up their life for you

because you are powerful and  strong and capable

read about the women in the bible, esther, ruth, martha, mary

these women changed the world forever

and inside of you, each and every one of you is a woman with that same power

and that same strength and that same world changing capability

and your responsibility is to find that woman and  to set that woman free

this is who you are

and any voices in your mind that try and tell you differently are from the enemy

and the next time you hear them this is what you say you say "nu-uh not me satan I am a daughter of the living God

cherished, loved and adored above all things by the creator of all things

for the glory of Him who is greater than all things

i am awesome

 and please don't you forget it.

watch it, read it...however many times it takes to grasp just a small revelation of what  you are worth...what women are worth. what your daughter is worth, or your sister,  your mother,  or grandmother,  your friend or neighbor. what about the stranger on the street. this wasn't a poem just made up by a man..some of these words were spoken about us and for us. to help us and guide us through this journey of life.

so the next time you look in the mirror say... i am beautiful or i am loved. how about i am strong or courageous. if you pick a weakness and declare it a strength then truly understand and believe that it's not a weakness...you have it in you to feel confident in every area and every situation of your life.

i know i am going to keep this close to me because this is all true about each and every one of us.

sometimes we need reminded...i know i do.
