Thank you very much. :)
 
I wanted to share with you all some powerful words that came to my mind this afternoon while I was sitting on our mountain side enjoying God's presence.

As I sat there and looked around over the rooftops at all the beautiful mountains and gold aspens that surround us, I thought to myself how amazing God's masterpieces are and how unique each of His creations are. I thought about how beautiful the sky, trees, mountains and flying birds were. I thanked God for them all and then a question came into my mind: If God cannot make mistakes, His works can take my breath away and I am His greatest masterpiece, why do I doubt who I am? Why do I feel like I have to fit in with this society? Why do I feel like I have fit in in order to be worth something? Why do I feel I have to be the society's definition of a beautiful girl? If God made me in His image, knit me together in my mother's womb, knew me before the earth was even formed and had my life planned out from the start, why do I still question myself and even Him sometimes?! God created me to be a worshiper, believer and follower of Him. To be Him to others. He put me on this earth because He has a plan for me. If He didn't have my whole, entire life planned out and not have a purpose for me, why would He have a need to create me? Every person on this earth has been chosen by God to be here for a reason, or else they wouldn't exist! God knows what He's doing and all His work is beautiful. And that's the truth. And that's all we need. God loves us and we should love ourselves as He created us.

Sarah......And remember sweetheart..we will be tried. Remember that the adversary knows you very well, your weakness. The adversary .. will.. whisper things to you that he knows will hit your buttons per say. But, being the person and sweet soul that you are, you will know when to shake his intruding thoughts, and you will remember who you are. A Child Of God!
And, you have a testimony of Christ! He needs people like us to do what you just did here. He needs us to testify of Him. There are so many lost souls out there that don't know Him, and would love to know what we know. Keep sharing your testimony, you will feel your purpose even more so.

Fitting in means you have to squeeze yourself and alter your space to accommodate that space. You do fit in, in your space, the place you are meant to be. If you are uncomfortable around certain people or places, then those are not your people or your places. As you get older you will find them. My son called yesterday and as we were talking about where he is now, he said, "Mom, I love this place, these people, I am one of them, I feel like I am home."

My geek has found his space. That made me very happy.

That is what we want for our children, or at least that is what we should want for our children.
Remember this, and it took me until midlife to figure it out. We are reared to obey, respect and accept adults as... mature and wiser and better somehow. We push aside our own wisdom and logic because an older person has an opinion. Don't do that. Remember we can be respectful of them without altering our path for them. Just because a person gets older, it doesn't mean they grow up.

I had lessons to learn from those types of people. They were painful and devastating because as children we want to please, we want to fit in, but they were the wrong fit, they were the wrong people.
Follow your path. Yours. no one else's. Your path might change... but did it? Maybe it was meant to change -maybe it is all suppose to be the way it is so we can sit on mountain sides and think.
