Did you know that you are a wonderful work of art, created by God? Did you know that all His works are excellent? Know that you are special, blessed and loved. God created us “fearfully and wonderfully…” His word tells us so. And do you know what that means? That means that you are good enough just the way you are. That’s not to say that we should become complacent and not strive to become the best person we can be. In order to give our best we must be our best. It’s that simple.We are children of the most high, our daddy owns everything. He is King of Kings. We can have, be and do anything that we desire. He told us so. Jesus said that He came so that we may have life and have it more abundantly. Optimal health and wealth, prosperity; it’s all ours for the asking and for the taking. Just sayYes! Say Yes to God, He will lead you, He will guide you. He will put joy back in your heart, love back in your soul. Deliver you from sadness, depression, low self esteem; you can have that great life.He is calling us higher and wants us to do a good work. And we can. As mothers, we sometimes place ourselves on the back burner. We stop dreaming, we sometimes stop living with passion and drive, we stop being the women that God wants us to be. We place all our energy on our families, and none on ourselves. We give them our best, or so we think, and don’t give ourselves the best. We can’t afford to do that any longer. Our children and our families need us to dream, to live on purpose. They need us to be healthy, wealthy and wise. If we are denying ourselves the simple necessities, then we aren’t healthy.After having my children I completely took myself out of the picture. I stopped living my life. I lost myself. I became sad, and depressed. I stopped caring for myself. I didn’t do my hair, I stopped exercising and eating healthy, as a result I gained about 50 lbs. My business was suffering to the point where I had no clients anymore. Now I was even more depressed and my self esteem hit rock bottom. I hit rock bottom.Everyone noticed it, I noticed it, but I didn’t do anything about it until I took a hard look at my children and their innocent faces. My son, who will be 4 in a week, he would notice the sadness on my face and he would often asks me “Mommy are you ok? It’s going to be alright.” That broke my heart. I didn’t want him or my 2 year old daughter to take on the burden of feeling that they had to take care of mommy. I saw how selfish I was being by not giving them the best mommy they deserved. I am my daughter’s example of what a woman is. I am the example of the type of woman my son will someday marry. I didn’t like the woman I was and had become. Drastic measure needed to be done. I was not being the type of woman that God created me to be. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, what is wrong with me? That’s when my transformation back to life began.As women we have strength, we have power, everything we need is within each and every one of us. We don’t have to beat ourselves up any more. We are ok. The sooner we start believing that this is true, the quicker we can start enjoying our lives. It’s not selfish to love ourselves. It’s not selfish to put ourselves first. It is however to very selfish to not share the best of who we are to those who need us the most. Our children will benefit and thrive at having a mom that is balanced mentally, physically and spiritually. They’ll see and feel the difference in the way we talk and the way we walk. They’ll be happier and you’ll glow at the smiles that will be on their face when they see that you are living a joyful life. They in turn will live a joyful life. We’ll notice how each day will seem just a little bit brighter, in spite of what we may be going through.We are wonderful creations of God, we were made in His image. Let’s step forward and walk in our excellence everyday.I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14 NIVLove yourself.
