Struggles

Everybody hates me. I guess I'll go eat worms...."   I won't eat worms but the rest of the lyrics rang true even though they were nothing but LIES!!! 

I am beloved.  I am child of God and He loves me more than any earthly human.   Sometimes it takes a sweet note, a kind email, a heaven-focused song, and even a good cry to realize this.

P.S.  I knew this was a struggle when I didn't even want to go to the gym and Target.  :(
