Today is my birthday.
My dear friend and one of my soul-sisters, Lesa, sent me a card that reads:
Celebrating You!
You were created by an awesome God, with individual style and a unique purpose. He put together a combination of gifts that belong to you alone - to glorify Him in a way that only you can.
These words are so precious to my soul and are at the heart of who, and what Terri Conrad Designs is all about.
I sometimes (emmm, honestly, a bit far more often than that) find myself comparing myself to others - to their journey, to their gifts, to their creative talents, and/or to their business acuumen & accomplishments. Do you do this too?
When I do this, it never fails to leave me feeling less than. Intellectually, I know better. I know we are each unique. We each have a unique beauty and a beloved spirit. No one else can tell, nor creatively express my story because it is mine to tell and to creatively express and in doing so glorify God in a way that only I can.
The same is, of course, true for you.
So today, on my birthday, my gift to you-
is to encourage you to celebrate YOU, your individual style, your unique purpose, your story, your journey and the many gifts God has bestowed upon you, and has yet to give to you!
Untie the ribbons, and L O V E the gift of who you are!
xoxo
Happy Happy Birthday! Enjoy, Relax, Refresh, and never doubt yourself. Love your sweet message.
