Loved.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7

^{I make tissue paper pom poms…}

I fill baskets with candy and make a homemade valentine for ALL my Loves…

It was a day filled with LOVE and memories.

A day when I get to reflect on

WHAT

MY

LIFE

HAS

BECOME.

Who would have thought that a girl who barely LOVED herself, would be blessed enough to learn to let OTHERS love HER?

Who would have thought that when I let GOD in my life 14 years ago….I would be accepting a LIFETIME of

family,

love,

commitment,

laughter,

and

UNDENIABLE HAPPINESS.

Who would have thought that by accepting the LOVE of GOD …I would learn about

acceptance

and

forgiveness.

 

I have learned that no matter what mistakes we make in life,

no matter what bad choices and decisions we make….

we are all WORTHY of redemption and LOVE..

We are all WORTHY of a 2nd chance.

Because …..

in the end….

Even-

BROKEN then

HEALED

girls deserve a life filled with FLOWERS.
