Big Tough Girls,
I have been thinking about you so much lately. I want you to know how proud I am of all of you and how much I love you. I have seen and heard SO many positive things happening in your lives...steps you have taken to overcome the impossible...choices you have made to change your path...and decisions that you have made to effect how your life will turn out! I have seen some of you get married, move out on your own, celebrate HUGE events in your life, have babies of your own, start your own businesses and so much more! This is what it is all about...turning your situation into a positive piece of light!
I have been thinking about my journey so far...thinking about all the things that have happened and all the things that I have done...choices that I have made...most of which I am not very proud of. I have learned that EVERY decision that I make effects my FUTURE! It is so so so hard to see but I promise you it is TRUE....every choice that I make right now it going to determine the kind of life that I am going to leave behind for my posterity. As I look at those things I realize that I am not very proud of that...there are so many things that I would never want my children to know about me.
I have been working so hard on making changes...making decisions that my children can be proud of...decisions that will determine the kind of legacy that I will leave behind! What am I going to be remembered for? Will it be my drinking, my being irresponsible, my getting pregnant?...or will it be my love for my husband and children, my testimony, my passion for birth moms?....
Every decision that you are making every day is going to decide what it is that you are going to leave behind! What do you want to be remembered for??? Make the changes...make the decisions...start living a life that you would be proud to leave behind!!!
