Crowns

Saturday I got a new CROWN to go with the other 3 that I have won.

Today I am looking at my crown and crying!

WHY you ask.?

Because I am realizing that now have a responsibility to be the BEST that I can be.

I am responsible to all of you to tell the truth--to keep those little white lies to myself---to be gracious at ALL times and to be me.

That's a hard row to hoe.

But you know what----being SASSY will go a long way to keep me on the right path.

Sassy women are ALREADY worth of a crown. They know who they are---they know that deliberately hurting someone is NOT the way to win crowns---they are content with who THEY are and are not going to do ANYTHING that will make them feel as if they had betrayed themselves.

CROWNS are the bomb.

Today---yes RIGHT NOW---look in a mirror and see that  crown on your head. FEEL the weight of it. YES it is heavy.

And look at it SPARKLE.

Those SPARKLES tell the world that YOU are important and YOU are a QUEEN..

I have been wondering

Sometimes I think I wonder too much.

I wonder about the weather and when it will get cool again. I wonder about Sarah and how her leg is -- she's our furry person and she seems to be having problems with her leg. I can't find any tender spots though.

I wonder about Jerry and why he can't remember things anymore.

And then I wonder about why Jesus came and set me free.

I wonder.

When I was MUCH younger

When I was  little girl I was afraid of everything. Are any of you like that?
My mom drank a LOT. and that caused gobs of problems between my mom and dad. He even had to tie her to the bed sometimes to keep her from harming herself. I think she must have had those bad dreams that drinkers have.

Anyway, whatever it was, I was scared a lot. I must admit I wasn't happy about those things that went on, but my older brother helped me to realize that it was maybe not OK, but that was how things were.

So, as I got older that fear stayed with me. I would walk to school backward!! Crazy stuff like that. I would scrub my face until it was bright red---and then put alcohol on it so that I wouldn't have any pimples. OOH how that would burn.

NOT good.

FEAR will make us do strange, crazy things.

One day two of my friends were playing in the trees. NO, they were NOT monkeys. We just climbed trees. Remember this is in the days before TV, WII, cell phones or computers.

We made out own games. I liked to climb trees, probably because my mom didn't come after me.

My point is this -- My friends told me that they had taken Jesus into their lives and I wanted to be like them -- because they were happy.

That's the day that confidence came into my life. Because, with Jesus on my side NOTHING can come against me!

CONFIDENCE galore. Churned up and put back into my mind.

I love it.

Do you want some -- let me know.

Some times I wonder----

I learned something yesterday.

     It;s not the size of your bank account
     It's not the amount of people in your team
     It's the size of your DREAM that will get you where you want to be.

So -- lady friend -- get a BIG DREAM and stick to it.

Don't give up and don't forget your dream.

Make posters of what YOU want and put them all over .

Take a picture of your dream poster and put in as your lock screen image.

Do it!!

AND DO IT NOW!!!!


    

Want to know something?

I really hope that not one of you have gotten the wrong idea about what being Sassy is -- or isn't. I would not like to think I had lead anyone in the wrong direction.

I think of a SASSY woman as being happy with who SHE is.

It doesn't really matter what others think of your wardrobe. Does it??

Think about that!!

Answer these few questions.

Do you wear outfits that YOU feel good in???

Do YOU like the color??

Do YOU like how the clothes feel on YOU???

Do you stand in front of the mirror and think about what your boyfriend would think about what you have on??

Are you worried about what he would think??

Are your scared of his reaction or just excited about it??

Honestly ask yourself these questions.

Now be honest!!

SASSY is all about you!
