I FAILED FOR PURPOSE

Someone that I once considered a mentor said, "Katie wasted all her knowledge and intelligence. She was one of the best students we had."

When I first heard those words, about four and a half years ago, it hurt. It was an odd and unexplainable pain.

One man's trash might be another man's treasure, but is it JUST or RIGHT to tell someone that you feel they wasted their LIFE?!?

DEAR FRIEND

Dear Friend.

Remember.

I just wanted to tell you that I love you and am thinking about you. On the good days and bad days you are still amazing to me because the weakness of mind cannot dictate the strength of the heart. 

On the really good days it’s easy to get up and get out, but on the bad days it’s like walking through quicksand just to open the door and look outside. 

YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS

In order to live the life you’ve never lived -- you have to do things you’ve never done.

Seems simple enough, right?

BUT — some of those things are going to take you out of your box of comforts and make you uncomfortable. Some days you will LITERALLY have to stare into the eyes of your reflection and say, “YOU can do this. YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS!!”

DEAR WOMAN

I write this with love.

Authentic and enduring love.

Before you were Mom you were Wife.

Before you were Wife you were Woman.

WOMAN OF GOD!! 

We must TEACH our children to RESPECT our marriages.

We ARE their example of love. 

Continuously speak 

ABUNDANT LIFE

into the 

MAN OF GOD 

in your home.

He, in turn, should 

BUILD UP 

the 

WOMAN OF GOD 

you are.

REMEMBER the WOMAN you were --

RESPECT the WOMAN you are --

RUN TOWARD the WOMAN you are to BECOME!! 

WOMEN OF GOD, ARISE!!

Imperfectly Yours,
Katie

YOUR INFLUENCE HAS IMPACT

Backstory: Every morning we get in the car to go to the gym I pray out loud with INTENTION. Well, a few weeks ago my three-year-old had a raspy voice with a little cough for a couple of days, due to allergies.

So, for the second day in a row, Gracie asked, “Mommy, can you pray to God so He heals my cough?”

To see your faithfulness come full circle, through your children, gives the heart an overflow of joy. It’s also a reminder that we are always influencing someone, someone is always listening and watching what we do.

REFLECT: How is your influence impacting others?

Imperfectly Yours,
Katie
