Anytime where love becomes the focus, our hearts become the focus and people are drawn closer to each other, I'm all in!  What do you think about when you think about love? I think of God. I think of family & friends. I think of my favorite episodes of the Golden Girls! We probably all think of different things.

It cut down my belief in myself for a season and because of that, I remember that I walked around at school unsure of myself and often with my head down. During the summer of my 7th grade year, I was relieved of all of that negative thought and energy about myself and I began to receive and believe that I was all that God said I was and I've been walking in that truth for the last 27 years. Because of that I walk with confidence! I still see people who seem to walk like they are down. I don't know if they are or not but I think that the way we enter a room is important.
