Weirdness; Pain to Triumph

Dear Maryanne.
I’m watching you on Survivor and I hear you crying out that you are too weird to be part of the cool group.

I know what you’re feeling. I was/am weird too.

I want to encourage you. You are a child of God. You have a personal relationship with the Creator of the Universe!  Here’s the cool thing; He made you the way you are for a reason.

When I was in my 20s I struggled all the time with the things I was told, both verbally and nonverbally, that was ugly, stupid and I would never do anything right.

It wasn’t until I was in my 50s that I learned that I was made the way I am for a very specific reason.  And the same is true for you!
I hope you can get a grasp of this before you’re in 50s!

Here’s what I learned;
Saying, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” is not just a nice saying.  It’s an absolute truth! Jesus knew who you were at the beginning of time and he loves you SO SO much!  He loves you with a love that encompasses all of who you are.  You are perfect in his sight.  He says so! It’s written in the scriptures! He finds no fault in you!  

 I am a carrier of joy. So are you. I see it in you.  Jesus has work for you to do that no one else can do.

There will always be people who don’t understand you. But if you understand yourself and how much God loves you you can do anything!  

I love you sister! Fly!!
