Please be encouraged!

This thought hit me hard this morning so despite my extreme disdain for the medium I am blogging via smart phone.

In this life people will tell you there are things you can not do. A lot of these people have the best of intentions.

A lot of these people would also be wrong.

I am an actress so I am pretty confident by nature but that same confidence blinded me to a simple truth: it only takes ONE person telling you that you can't for the thorny seed of doubt to be planted deep inside your mind.

It can be crippling.

I will admit I'm not great with direction. Instead of paying attention in the car I read or dance or talk the driver's ear off. So for my entire life I was told that I am terrible with direction. When I decided to move to LA I was told that I would not be able to drive in this city. That I would get lost end up in a bad part of town and get murdered. (Maybe not those exact words but you understand)

And YES I have been turned around a few times. I got into a car accident. I forgot where my car was parked. But each if those experiences made me better. Taught me.

I am finding out more and more each day that I CAN do it. I have BEEN doing it.

Of course it doesnt hurt to have a team of wonderful Christian sisters praying for me every step of the way or to have some really great roommates who did nothing but shower me with encouragment for a solid week. It most assuredly doesn't hurt to know that God adores the living day lights out of me.

Even when I am physically lost on these LA streets.

So if you are struggling today just message me, text me, call me and I will be more than happy to give you a beautiful inspirational speech specific to your need :)

You can. You absolutely one hundred percent can.
