Sassy

"It's okay to be sassy."- Hannah Lawson. Teenage girls are notorious for bringing their sass on. Why is it that we do so? It's simple. We want people to see how we feel, and grab their attention. Even if we don't admit it. There's always the people who sass it up, just because they think it's fun too. The way we present ourselves in speech, body language and vocabulary choices, are all reflections of our inner souls. For so long I felt the need to be strong, and not admit to needing anyone, or anything. I felt obligated to make people think I'm some perfect little superwoman, that knows it all. Who was I fooling? I know nothing. I am far from perfect, and I need a shoulder to cry on just as much as the next person. Bottling things up leaves you bloated with emotions our bodies were not meant to handle all at once. And when I started to be "sassy" it got me thinking, well maybe this is my way of saying, "hey, I'm no sweetheart, now give me a hug." It sure isn't probably the most wise way of expressing ourselves, but it gets the point across. I went to a couple friends, and just laid it out raw. No more being fake, no more Mr. Nice girl. We need to be real. We need to help one another grow. I've always been there for my friends, but never let my friends be there for me. God helps a lot. He gives you strength, love, courage and so much more. But He also gave us humans, companions, because we need one another. So when you think you know it all, that you can do it all on your own, newsflash...You can't. And that's okay. In my journey, I'm finding it's okay to be a mess. It's okay to feel broken. It's okay to feel lonely. But it's not okay to pretend like it's all okay. Be real. Be sassy. Be you.

The Holy Spirit bears us up in our weaknesses.
