Embrace Your Story



I'm up bright and super early today.
I am writing a personal Biographical Essay to be submitted for review along with a package for acceptance to a very great College I am applying to.... 
Finally man!...... 

After having to put my school on hold to take care of other priorities, I am able to take myself to College Yo'! 
This particular university has the perfect Curriculum and program that I have been wanting.
And as I sit here trying to have the prefect words to write, it dawned on me that the there is nothing I need to dig in to write or to impress. 
I have a very Imperfect story that does not need to be made up perfect with a "fluffy ending" and unicorns shooting rainbows and stuff. 
My life has SIMPLY SUCKED at moments just like everyone else, and I have had so many crazy challenges just.... like ....everyone else. I have had good and bad times, lots of tears and lots smiles. But our story is not really defined in all the "grandeur" and accomplishments in life, our story is really made about the times we doubted ourself, BUT kept BELIEVING... Is made out about the times that we were betrayed and yet we KEPT TRUSTING.... Is made out about the times that we were.... KNOCKED....DOWN but kept GETTING BACK UP. 
And as I try to finish my essay with a KNOT in my stomach mixed with fear and excitement at the same time because of this new challenge ahead, I am trying to hold my tears because as I look at my story I don't see challenges, tears, betrayal, pain or disappointments. 
This story/essay has VICTORY written all over it. God really has a special way to turn a story of an ordinary person and make it "eternally purposely" to leave a mark somewhere in a corner of someone else's heart, if we are vulnerable enough to share it!! 

I hope today you take PRIDE in your own story, embrace it, accept it and push froward with it and keep BELIEVING in yourself! 


Please please please Pray for me and KEEP me accountable... I am going to need it! 😉

Much Love,

Marisabel!
