Who, me?

"I never set out to write a book to change women's lives, to change history.  It's like, "Who, me?" Yes, me. I did it. And I'm not that different from other women...Maybe my power and glory was that I could speak my truth as a woman and it was the truth of every woman." - Betty Friedan, writer

I can relate to this - I never thought for a minute that I could make a difference in any one's life.  I haven't changed history, nor have I written a book to change any one's life.  But I have been blessed with many opportunities to share my experience, strength, and hope with others in order to let them know that there is hope even in our darkest moments.  I've struggled in many areas of my life in the past, but I learned to ask for help.  It always comes to me - the help I need in that given instance.  It makes life so much easier to handle when I know that I will always get the assistance I need.

Sometimes help comes in ways that aren't recognizable right away but it comes nonetheless.  I've learned to trust God to provide the perfect "help" for me in every situation.  This help, including the inner strength I need to cope, comes as I need it.  I've learned not to ask for courage to face something that MIGHT be happening next week.  I trust that God will help me with that next week if and when I need it.  I do better when I stay in the day I'm in.

I do my best to remain open to all possibilities today.  It's not just about me and my story - there are other people and stories out there that need help in coming to know their truth.  So, I ask God to use me to help others reach their truth.  And, as I do that, my truth is revealed to me as well.  I love my life!

Today I will remain open to the help that comes to me. I will live my truth and I will share my experience with others. I am grateful.
