Something To Be Proud Of.

You put your heart out there and were vulnerable for the first time. I know that’s scary and that it hurts now, but be satisfied in knowing that you tried. Love doesn’t always work out for the first time around. Actually it’s more rare for that to be the case. But you have a beautiful heart and the Lord will bring you a man with an incredible story to tell. You are an example of patience, faith, and love. Don’t lose hope, he’s out there, somewhere.

I can’t imagine the strength to do what you have. I am not so sure I would have the same strength. Life may look really hazy right now but you will land on your feet and most likely a giant smile on your face laughing in the end. You are a bright light and a joy to be around. You are strong, much strong than you give yourself credit for.

What an experience. Watching you explore, discover, and learn has been a joy. You take the small tasks and turn it into something fun. When parts of your trip went wrong you didn’t give up but tried again and succeeded. It’s not over for you, I am sure you will continue to travel, search, “and know everything” but it’s been great witnessing the first time around.

You have faced many great challenges this year and have stood up to each and every one of them. You have given up an addiction and fought for a better life. You have stood by your family through difficult times, and every day you work harder to making your life better. Keep pushing on.

You have made it so far. I can’t believe you will be leaving France soon. You took a risk in leaving home for a great opportunity and now you are thriving. Through the loss of family members, roommates, and many others you have stuck it out when others have run away. Keep going strong your almost finished and will need that same strength to leave and return home.

Each of these people should know who they are but don’t need to be named. I am proud of so many of my friends and what they do in life, but these are just a few of the extraordinary at this point and time. I will always be each of their biggest cheerleaders! Who are you proud of, let them know or participate in Mamakat’s workshop.
