Underestimated

Sunday afternoon, I went and had some asian food with my long time friend Will. Will & I have known each other our entire lives basically and he was one of my best friends all through High School. When they brought our checks of course they brought us fortune cookies. Usually I open them, halfway read them and laugh because they are usually pretty silly. This one however, really struck a chord.

Since Sunday I've been thinking about how I view myself. Just to be honest, I have zero confidence in my talents and I underestimate myself too often. I know they saying we are our own worst critic, and its such a true statement, but for me...I do nothing to critique myself on. I'm just wasting my talent doing the same thing day in and day out. just over and over and over again. And who's fault is that? No ones but mine!

I think the problem is that the goals I set are so easy for me to achieve. I set goals that I know I can accomplish....Yes, when you set goals you should set realistic ones, but they should at least be challenging. Mine aren't and thats no ones fault but my own simply because I underestimate the things I can do, and I am terrified of failure. Again, just wasting talent because of fear. It's ridiculous. I really need to re-evalute my life and the plan that GOD has for me. Somehow I've run off thinking I can do this myself...my own way and guess what, I can't. I want Gods plan for my life, not Brianna's. So whatever that is, I'm ready and willing to do whatever I need to.

"...Everything is possible for one who believes." - Mark 9:23

"...What is impossible with man, is possible with God." Luke 18:27

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to HIS purpose." Romans 8:28

I am praying for a new confidence in myself and confidence in the talents that God has given me. He gave them to me for a reason and it wasn't to sit them aside and let them collect dust. Thanks for letting my get a few things off my chest and thanks so much for reading and loving me:)

Charlotte Fun!

Hey dearies! 

You know I was in COMPLETE Heaven while I was in Charlotte! Being around clothing day & night was completely amazing!!

Here are a few photos from our trip.

Sandra & I had the BEST time. I never imagined it being as great as it was. We picked up so many great lines and restocked on the lines that we already love so so much. 

I loved meeting gorgeous Mrs. Judy from High cotton Ties. She was so precious and she made some delicious cake. I met so many wonderful people and seriously had such a great time. I got to talk to Sandra and get to know her a little more. We had some really great bonding time:) and I loved it!!!

Another part of the trip that made the trip so awesome was something that most people probably wouldn't think twice about. But, it honestly made my weekend! It was my first time meeting & working with the guy in the last photo. When we walked into the showroom, the first thing I noticed was his WWJD bracelet. And I thought well thats by far the coolest bracelet I've seen all weekend. Come to find out, he is actually doing mission work in Spain. I don't think he realized how much talking to him made my day. It really put things in perspective for me...he said a few things about his story that made me realize that I need to re-prioritize my life. I realized yesterday that I should never be in this place where I feel like I am close enough to God. I want to always want more, to be closer...I can never have enough of him. I realized that I've become comfortable where I am and thats the furtherest thing from what I want. I had a completely different view on my relationship and priorities when I left that room. Its just the coolest thing to think that even right in the middle of an appointment at an apparel mart that God can completely transform my view. I just love it! and the icing on top of the cake, D gave me this amazing Koozie that I have been obsessing over for months!!!

Again, I had an amazing time on my trip to Charlotte with Sandra.

& I can't lie...today at work was insane trying to get back in the swing of things.

I might or might not be fighting my eyelids as I am typing this now!

Bysie Bye for now!
