Hey! Just to let you know, the beach was pretty good. It was great to spend time with family and stuff. We spent Sunday at the beach and that was cool. Wait, no. No it wasn't. It was hot! Hot and sunny. I got the worst sunburn! It was so bad. I was RED! It was so painful. Everything. From stretching in ballet to sleeping at night. I've made a major decision in life....I've decided to wear sunscreen. Thank you, that's all for that.
But really, it was fun playing games and going to the beach and getting attacked by the ocean and salt water up my nose and such...good times.
So, I was writing last night. I was writing a letter to God, actually. Don't ask why, I just felt like it. Anyway, I was feeling pretty down and was like, "It's not fair, why does so-and-so feel like such-and-such towards me? There's nothing wrong with me, is there? This stinks," and everything. I stopped and just thought. And it felt like God was holding me on His lap saying, "Baby, sometimes people make mistakes. They don't make you invalid or worth less. They are just that, mistakes."
Yes, I do wish some people valued me more and thought more of me or whatever, but their mistakes don't invalidate me or define who I am.
My worth isn't in peoples' opinions (and next time you hear me imply that they do, kick me and remind me otherwise). I'm not less valid by how people feel toward me. Yeah, I surely want people to value and like me, but the value people place in me doesn't equal the actual value I have in Jesus. And His value in me doesn't fluctuate from deed to deed or time to time.
Well, I just thought I'd share with you what He said! I felt like maybe He wanted me to tell you too. :)
Anyway, it's about time I head to bed. Love you! xoxo
