So I’m here just as I am Bruised & broken.... I don’t have to pretend When everything’s not fine Every hurt, every scar, every secret It’s like my heart’s on fire again But it’s nice to know I can come this way, feel this way, just because of you..... I feel the real me finally breaking through... I was a mess underneath And I was just too scared to show it I just couldn't find peace any other way But I was never too much for you to take in You hold me closer and closer everyday than ever before You wrap me in your arms....I never felt alone You take me to that secret place where I can be with you Your grace abounds to me It’s all because of You Jesus No need for walls You see right through You just love and it's nice to know There's no love like your love Jesus There's only love There's only grace I'm always safe "When am with you".

​Oftentimes, people like me try to prove they have it all together but end up overwhelmed because they wind up juggling too many balls, saying, “No, it’s okay, I got it.” I realized I stopped asking for help because I needed to maintain the illusion (primarily for myself) that I knew everything so I wouldn’t feel incompetent,NOT ANYMORE. Being vulnerable enough to admit you can’t do everything and need help actually brings people closer to you because it opens the door for the most basic of human needs—empathy, validation, and most importantly, the need to feel like you are not alone in your experiences. Be gentle and patient with yourself. Allow yourself some room for error and be humble enough to seek other perspectives to issues that arise. It can be extremely freeing to learn that you do not, in fact, have all the answers. It is a process to let go of the unrelenting demands created by past experiences and accomplishments. Life has a fun...
