Life is A lot of work & can be very hard at times. What is it that gives us strength to continue when we're tired & burned out? INSPIRATION! Inspiration comes in many forms. BNspired sole hope is for you to leave this blog feeling so refreshed that you'll be able to spread the word in hopes of inspiring someone else!
This really blessed my life. It's always good to remember we are all on a journey. Despite it being super hard to have patience at times, it should be promising to know that God always has our best in mind. Each day is just another step on your journey. Each day is a process. ENJOY IT. EMBRACE IT. The Good and The Bad.

Standing in the mirror, not seeing all you say you see
My perspective makes me see myself so differently; Insecure is now my new reality
And I don't want it to show, Afraid of being exposed
It's not the enemy, this time it's the INNER ME
Trying to fight a thought of negative inside of me
Can I win this war? Get past the fear in front of me.
I let my doubts get the best of me
I won't waste no more of my life,
changing how I use to think
There's life beyond my fears, I push beyond my tears
If I could just see myself, the way you see me (repeat 3x)
If I could just see myself, the way you see me
So much for my life, I couldn't seem to see before Simply blinded, not realizing God had more Pursued the wrong things I thought would satisfy me It left me empty, and now I know Those stages of my life are over now My life is clearer, secure in who I am now I won this war within, I've got my confidence Those feelings can't get the best of me
I won't waste no more of my life,
changing how I use to think
There's life beyond my fears, I push beyond my tears
If I could just see myself, the way you see me (repeat 3x)
If I could just see myself, the way you see me
You call me beautiful, never felt like this before Your love You proved to me I don't have to walk around, with my head hanging down I'm loving who I am, not a VICTIM anymore
Here are my notes from church at The Rock here in Birmingham, Al. This message was so refreshing for me. If it's one area I know I have to improve on this year it's developing disciplines and consistency. I pray these notes bless and inspire you!
I came across this post this morning & was inspired to start this challenge. Follow Pastor Darius McClure on Instagram for daily inspiration. BNspired to take on this challenge as well. If you don't decide to actually post a daily verse from your reading, write it down & reflect on it.
BNspired more than ever for 2015! If you haven't already, reflect on your life and write down what you want to accomplish this year & how you plan on accomplishing it. Writing things down on paper goes along way.
