The dirt is necessary....

What beautiful things didn't come up from the dirt? Man, woman, trees, flowers grow and bloom after they break ground. They break through the dirt to show themselves. We must get above ground and build on top of the dirt and never forget where we came from.

Everyone has a story, the good, the bad and the ugly.

There was a woman on the Steve Harvey show, who used to be a prostitute because she was sexually abused as a child.She has bought houses and taken 47 girls off the street and put them all through college.

Who does that? Who changes your heart? God can change anything and anyone. First you must find the faith in yourself to rise above the dirt. It's ok to be knocked down but it's not ok to stay there.
I found this woman's story to be amazing. She was so inspiring, so awesome and I was honored to hear her story. She overcame the adversity of every challenge and defied the stereotypes. She made a wonderful life and she passed the blessing to some sisters who needed the same permission to change their worlds. I think it's beautiful. She chose to build a mansion on top of the same dirt that once buried her.

Anyone can build a house, but building a mansion is hard work. We have to be willing to reach people where they are. Hurt people, hurt people. Pain is a normal feeling for some people and they aren't willing to do anything different to feel better. The saddest part of that is they pass it, hurt is contagious. That's why so many people battle with low self esteem for so many reasons. God is just awesome and he is still moving stones.

Rise from the dirt and put your feet firmly on the ground and start building.

The beauty of the diamond is that is buried in the dirt and formed from high pressure and temperatures. It takes "eruptions" to push them to high enough for us to get a shovel and find them.

Get your shovel and start digging. I believe in diamonds.
Continue to be amazing!
