Day #14 Thursday "Let's Keep It Real"

I have to admit sometimes I get tired of listening to people pretend that they have it all together and are so quick to judge those who don't. Seriously people "let's keep it real" here. We are suppose to struggle in life it's what I like to think of our "Beauty" marks on this windy road we call life. Our struggles make us appreciative, keep us humble, allow us to connect with others... Our struggles are what bring us to our knees allow God to become part of our lives if we so desire as we have faith, hope and believe their is a bigger, greater and more beautiful plan. We are suppose to struggle...
My concern however is how we react to those we see struggling;

We turn away...
Judge...
Ignore it...
Say nothing...
pretend it isn't happening...
Gossip...

So here it is friends... it's OK to struggle... it's God's Plan

so what do we do with our struggles???
Do we live in struggle or do we pray for God's help?
Do drown ourselves in our struggles or do we choose to look out and see what we have been blessed with?
Do we push away or ask for help?
Do we use our struggles for God's glory when we get through them?
Do we use our struggles to connect with other's to empathize and show compassion?
Do we even take the time care about others?

Friends... I struggle and I am thankful for my struggles as I believe that my struggles are what grow me into the person God desires me to be...
May I struggle forward and see the beautiful blessings that I have been provided with daily!
As woman may we be freed to think we have to have it all together and may we be more compassionate with one another, support, lift up and encourage those around us... "Let's Keep It Real" ladies!
