She is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future.

That is me now. Or at least, who I try to be.

Because that's all I can ever try to be: Strong, dignified and fearless. Because by being those things, all other good things will follow. All I can ever do is stand up for myself, live with integrity, and trust God.  Because he will provide.  And all will be okay.

And it doesn't matter what other people say, because it's you that matter.  God put you on this earth for a reason and the fact that you are breathing is proof that you are wonderful and amazing that that you have great purpose in this world, to make a difference in people's lives.

Be the change you want to see in the world.  Be strong.  Be dignified.  Be fearless.

Because if you live in fear, shameful and weak, you can't accomplish anything for yourself or others.  Reach your hand out, and someone will help you.  Then maybe when you are okay, you can reach out to someone who needs you.

Love,
Alice
