Sometimes the truth is just plain ugly, but I had to dig deep to find the beauty in mine. I believe that processing the truth is a challenge in more ways than one. Ironically, you can find…

1. peace
2. strength
3. closure

…once the truth is revealed.
So why do we as people cover up the truth?

It’s easy to hide your flaws, pretend that life is dreamy, that your best friend didn’t stab you in the back, your boyfriend didn’t mean to cheat, or cover up how much weight you’ve gained or lost…

We spend more time convincing others to believe a lie than to just simply state the facts. I struggle too with just being Brittany because I’m surrounded with pressure:

… seek out a better paying job, start dating, lose weight, and basically live according to the world’s standards…

Truth is… I’m letting God write my story, lead me on a journey, place me outside of my comfort zone, surround me with accountability, and use me according to his plan. When you fully surrender, he can do the same for you. When God is for you, it doesn’t matter who isn’t!!!  🙌🏾

I’m faced with pressure daily, but let’s deal with the facts:

• I’d definitely make more money working on the Arsenal in Huntsville, AL. What people don’t understand is that I’m in a position that God created for me. I’m going to rejoice in knowing that he is my sole provider and that I’ll lack nothing because I’m being obedient to his will for me in this season. 💁🏾
• Yes I’m still single (3 years if you’re wondering) and believe there’s a valid reason for that too. 😉 God writes the most beautiful love stories, and he will be the author of my love story too. I’ve spent enough time with randoms, and that led me to entertaining potential… That was a season of waste, my season of singleness is not!!!
• To be more attractive has become #goals to the point where we will go to drastic measures to please the eye of man. 🙄  Somehow I was so pretty last year… but I have no issues with being classified as just okay in the eyes of some this year. See, I was created in the image of the Lord and I celebrate in knowing that my weight doesn’t make God think any more/less of me. 😍
• And…  strengthening my walk with Christ shouldn’t offend you, you should celebrate with me. You didn’t realize that my life was a hot mess when you initially met me. I probably have changed, but Jesus didn’t die on the cross for me to stay the same. I’m hit with challenges daily, but knowing that I have purpose motivates me to stay deeply rooted in the word of God. You may not understand my reasoning, but I never placed that expectation on you. God is working through me and I’m working to become one with him. This required for me to make some adjustments so that I’m not confusing myself for starters but also not causing my brother and sisters in Christ to stumble. Making sacrifices comes along with the territory, but God will not hold any good thing from you. Trust God, Trust the Process, Trust that it’s for your good!!! ❤️

Truth be told: People will always have opinions about what steps you take in life, but it’s when you know your #WHY that the opinions of others doesn’t throw you off track for an extended period.

I’m flawed, yet my purpose for this blog is to inspire others to live a life outside of the box that people wish to place you in.

Don’t cover up the truth because the truth is God desires to free you from the very thing that you’re allowing to hinder you from experiencing God’s best for you.

Go live a little and fulfill what God has placed on your heart.

Your assignment… Your obedience… Your joy…
