Shine

Some of my friends and I are involved in a program where we help the childen's ministry at my church out every Sunday. Its way more complicated than it sounds but last Sunday during our class Pastor Sean said something no one had ever said to us as a group or individuals.

"You guys are just clumsy with greatness. You don't have to even try. You simply stumble upon greatness."

I must say that's true about everyone in that room and those who were missing last week. Its so beyond true. And sometimes I just stop and look at my life and the friends God gave me and I'm like whooooaaaaaaaaaa! Whatt???? I mean really? I honestly am friends with the very people who are  going to change the world. I'm honestly friends with the brightest stars. I know this is cheesey. I know. Ugh, that's not what I'm trying to get at.

I guess I just want them to shine brighter.
Now you're probably like wow, she is bipolar- first she's says they are the brightest, then she says shine brighter- but the thing is, they can.

They can shine way brighter than they know how. So every insult they make at themselves kills me a little, because watching my friends over the years I've become comepletely posititive that they shine like crazy but could shine brighter. And someday we all will. We'll be the brightest. 

So friends, thanks for inspiring me to shine, never stop. Readers of the world, be all you can be, inspire your world the way my friends inspire me. And Stephany, shine brighter.
