Waiting Patiently (?)

[Bworl]

i just know what my expectations are....wondering if i set them too high.

How could this even be?

Sounds suspiciously like someone who's planning to settle at some point...don't you dare.

So many of us who have lived through unhappy times seem to develop this problem with self-esteem and whether or not we deserve the life that we know inside we want. One of the benefits of this place right here is that we hear from lots of experienced people that we deserve to be happy, we deserve to be fulfilled, we deserve to be loved properly. We get a life so that we can begin to appreciate ourselves and begin believing that we deserve the best life has to offer. We detach so we stop being affected by the poor way that we have been treated.

I know that this strong, confident, self-assured southern girl that I've gotten to know would never allow herself to be talked in to taking less than what she knows she could have. Not the person I've gotten to know at least.

Really Deb...

Life is hard. No question about it. You've got a chance right now to set the stage for the rest of your life. THIS IS YOUR INTERMISSION! This is where you get to make adjustments, smooth off rough edges, regain your balance. Soon enough the second half is going to start. Are you going to go for the gusto? Are you going to take the WONDERFUL second half that God has planned for you? Or are you going to settle for something that is ok?

I know you better than that. You want God's AMAZING second half.

I'm watching...

Blessings,
