Say yes or turning 37

i saw this on pintrest last night.  this is such an important point to be made.  

today is my 37th birthday.  from age 30 til last year, i'd joke about being 28 again.  but this year, i realize that little joke would discount the past 7 years of my life and i wouldn't want to do that- i have a really unique life and it suits me well.  it's unconventional by most standards but i have always wanted to take the road less travelled.

but back to this quote: by the very nature of being God's creation, we are special. and my mom used to tell me if God wants you to clean the toilets at the church, you do the very best you can and do it for Him.  

but sometimes before we can get to a place of understanding how special we are to Him, we have to get over ourselves a bit and just say "yes."

when heath came to me about the vision he had for this television show, i panicked.  where were we going to get the money for this? it was just too big for me to fathom. i didn't know where to start. but we said "yes" anyway and just had to let God do His thing.

for all of us struggling with not being good enough, or skinny enough, or pretty enough, or popular enough or our past is too spotty... God just wants you to say "yes."
