while perusing pinterest for carnival themed party ideas for my nephew, and for diy projects i probably will never have to time for, i came upon the above picture..and paused.
such a simple quote, yet so powerful, i think.
we all have things that make us, well us. quirks, habits, traits, that make us unique, that make us special, that make up our being. who we are truly inside.
even the little things we're afraid to let others see.
and with that, we all deal with insecurities on how we'll be perceived, how our dreams will be encouraged or not, by others.
which is why over the years it's become so important for me to know who my posse is if you will. at least here on earth. i know in heaven my jesus has my back.
but you know, it's those people who i know will be there for me in a heartbeat. those that look out for my best interest, and go beyond to strengthen me and encourage me. but also who tell me when i'm screwing up, to make me a better person. and most importantly who will pray for me.
i'm truly blessed to have my husband, parents, sisters, and my kids as those who help my being.
each of them in their own way make me a better person, even my kiddos at such little ages, they teach me so many things every day. the things they say, the things they do. crazy kiddos.
but yes, it's good to surround yourself with those kind of people and let go of friendships that are not good for the soul, distancing myself from those that have an ill intention. which is sad, but what can you do? rather, find those that push you forward and clap for you as you go.
and here in the blogworld, i'm so thankful for those of you who also help my being with prayers and encouraging words, even though we haven't officially met in person. receive a big ol virtual hug from me, okay? i really mean it.
so tell me, who helps your being?

I feel so lucky having people who has my back too! As much as we want tokeep everybody sometimes the best thing to do is let go especially if they don't help your being. This is a very meaningful quote, indeed.

Thanks for sharing! I knew that my fiancé was perfect for me when I saw how we really encouraged each other to be the best versions of ourselves! It's a good thing to think about. :)

How Beautiful Are The Feet.
Well first of all I dont know how new your blog design is but I love it! You always do a beautiful job! Second I really like the way you wrote this post and the words you used. I'm right in this phase of life of figuring out exactly wh's in my posse and who is not. :)
