Emotional Baggage Anyone?
Learn to ignore the negative energy you know some people where placed in our lives to be negative and discourage us!! She is completing her goal making you feel bad!! Learn to trust in God and ignore those who have no purpose in your life but to bring you down!! If they cant add positive to your life then delete them!!!! delete delete delete!!! I think you are doing a great job and look great and I dont even know you!!!!!!!

3 Years Post-Op.... Failure...
It was as if I was suppose to see your message!! Listen God has your back no matter what but I think that its sad that you dont have your back! The Bible says that God will give you strength is you only believe the size of a muster seed but thats the problem you have no faith in you!! Stop blaming unemployment, graduation, a job, and others for your failures and learn to take responsibility for your self!! You can change your life or you can complain about your life if you dont like your situation then change it!! Just ask God for the strength and he will take you to the next level!! we all have challenges on this journey but the goal is to encourgae one another when we fall and help each other get back up. I will be here fro you in every way I can but the love and motivation needs to come from you!! Talk to God he will never leave you nor forsake you!! You are his Daughter now believe it!!! Love Sharon
