Independent

I'm thankful for perfect little coffee shops and good conversation.

Tonight I found myself at Midtown Coffee with my fellow blogger (706stories.weebly.com) talking about life. And more importantly, talking about independence.

A lot of times I find myself relying on others to feel secure, but I've recently decided that this is not the way I want to live my life. If I am going to advocate independence and self-love, I have to live it as well.

I'm not going to lie and say that I don't struggle with insecurities- because let's face it, everyone does. But I can trust in the fact that God made me EXACTLY the way I'm supposed to be. Philippians 4:6-- "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guide your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." I have a hard time letting go and trusting God's plan for me, but I must remind myself every day that He has it all figured out. He wants the best for me, and He knows exactly how to give me the best-- but only if I LET Him. God is not going to fight for me to love him, that is my job.

So please God, lead me on the path You want for me. I am ready.
