You need to…You can’t do…You aren’t ready for…You should…You shouldn’t…It would be better if you…You are just like…

How many times has someone said one of the above sentences and made you feel “less than”?  When we grow, mature, become healthier, make changes in who we are, people don’t understand.  They say they want you to become better and more, until you become better and more. Then things change. Because when we change it requires others to change, too. Change is uncomfortable and most don’t like it.

I used to strive to be perfect…for my husband, my children, my parents, my church family. Today I hope to be better than yesterday. Not perfect, just better. God is taking the broken pieces and putting them back together differently. Others may not recognize the new you because it wasn’t what they envisioned, yet it is what He is doing and it’s His vision. Embrace what He is doing in you.

Rest in the new you He is creating even when those in your life just don’t understand. Sometimes you will take one step forward, then two steps back, but DON”T STOP moving forward.

Your Life is not yours if you always worry what other people think!
