I am that I am

 "Sometimes the people in our lives who are supposed to love us, for whatever reason, aren't the people we need them to be. Family, friends, loved ones, are all human, as are we, and that means we aren't perfect. So sometimes the relationships that we are supposed to be able to count on aren't meant to be our foundation. And when that happens, we need to build our foundations on stronger stuff, like our own sense of self-worth, or relationships we choose rather than the ones we're born into. If that has happened in your life, after you assess that you have handled the relationship the best way you could, or apologized for anything that you shouldn't have done, then just know that some people aren't meant to be in your life. Some people are meant just to be lessons that we learn from so that we do better with the next relationships. And we need to be okay with that. We do the best we can, when we can, and cut yourself some slack for those times when things aren't the way they "should" be. You are enough and you are lovable. "
This popped up in my memories today. It was a post from a page that I follow called Collins friends. Some of you may be familiar with it. I am a firm believer in God the universe aligning itself so that there are no coincidences. This post came on the heels of listening to a chapter from dr. Wayne Dyer's book wishes fulfilled. In the book and in this particular chapter he discusses the " I am that I am" From Exodus 3:14. One of the things things that he encourages you to do is to never put a negative statement after the phrase I am. He points out that I am is the name of God and therefore if you put something negative after it you blasfime. This also came on the heels my friends gratitude project in which she discusses that she is grateful that her marriage ended the way that it did and how she has come out the other side stronger. It's a lesson which cost me emotionally and financially but like my friend I am stronger for it and I am coming out the other side.
