discouraged to only become encouraged

I feel like my world is crashing in

out of my control

I'm losing sight

I have been discouraged

disheartened

dispirited

I need to be picked up

brought back to life

I have put to much hope, faith, and trust in something of this world

Maybe I was naive, ignorant, or child-like

but whatever it was, it got me down

Funny thing is

I am a fighter

I always have been

Life hasn't always been easy on me

and I have had to fight some battles to become the person I am today

to become me

to accept me

to understand my trials

to learn from my mistakes

to judge myself more than others

to put myself second

to love with everything I have

to give until I have nothing left

to become unstoppable

to have a faith that is contagious

to dream the dreams of my heart

and have the courage to go after them

all of this, all of me, wouldn't be possible

without the love and faith God has in me

my strength comes from him

and him alone

because he has never given up on me

when i have given up on myself...

i live for Him

his mercy brings me to my knees

"His mercy saved me,

His mercy made me whole,

mercy found me and

He called me as his own"

again, i am just a simple girl

that loves to love

my heart is on my sleeve

and i have dreams that will change this world

not to change the world

but to just be apart of this world

making my mark on this world

hoping in this world

i am a dream believer

but most of all a dream seeker

I just want to inspire and lift up

through the actions in my life

I know I am not perfect

I am just me

and I hope you are just you

Finding the Hope to believe in my future

yours too, more importantly :)
