Tonight while encouraging a dear friend of mine to

“be yourself because there is no one quite like you”

She said to me that my words brought her senior quote to mind ~

“Be yourself, nobody does that better than you!”

which brought to my mind

my senior quote….

“The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory”

Who knew seventeen years ago when I was pondering what words to leave under my cheesy senior portrait
how very true and relevant this statement would become???

I sure didn’t.

Now, in my mid thirties,  I recognize those eight words as

..Sovereign

College wasn’t an easy battle but allowed me to pursue the career of my dreams!

Striving for excellence while teaching elementary school has been a daily battle but has taught me that I want to BE better and DO better every.single.day!

Infertility and loss were brutal battles but the VICTORY we are experiencing now with our two boys was WORTH IT ALL tenfold!!

… stepping into a season of life where SO much is “uncertain”
the one thing I DO KNOW is
the toughest battles are still yet to come

and you know what that means??????

the GREATEST VICTORIES are too!!
