Listen Up, Liars!

So,
you know what I think is great? I love who I am and who I'm becoming. Some have deigned to suggest that there is something wrong with me. Hello, kettle, pot speaking. Alas, I am here to refute such worthless, ignorant opinions.

I am beautiful. 17 extra pounds (loseable!) and all.
I am intelligent, I am creative, I am funny. I love laughing. I have a killer smile.
There is nothing wrong with me. Do I get emotional? Yes. Do I get depressed sometimes? Yes. Have I done and said things I wish I hadn't and would love to take back? Yes. Is there somehow because of all of the above something inherently, fundamentally wrong with me? Heck no! I'm not perfect. I'm a work in progress, but I'm a masterpiece.

God totally adores me. This is all I need. He has put me on this path that is inexplicable to me and this year is not at all what I would have chosen. However! I see how much stronger I am, how much more grounded and calm, how much more mature and beautiful I am because of these trials. I am one tough cookie and I won't crumble. Those who thought me fragile and weak are silenced now, buddy. I am better because of the trial. I would still take it all back if I could, but I can't. And He has made me beautiful in His time.

I absolutely refute the lies of Satan about me, the lies that he has used some really misguided souls to repeat in my face. Screw you, Satan. Screw you, lackeys. I don't believe you, you are not telling the truth. I know the truth and it comes from God. So go to hell.

I really hope that certain people realize how very wrong they were and see how very strong and great I am, here, still standing. Standing in His grace alone. But even if they don't see, I do and that's all that matters. I really pity the fool. Hahaha!

Moving on to bigger and better things....
