Better than I think I am

Okay, so I guess I need to apologize to everyone for being a little overly emotional/dramatic this past week. I do know my worth and that my Heavenly Father loves me. 
I know that I said I felt as if I wasn't good enough for Ben but the only reason I was feeling that way was because he had just broke up with me. While he is an incredibly talented, great, awesome person, I am equally talented, great and awesome. I was just feeling a little down and we all know when this happens Satan takes fast hold of the situation and makes us feel worse about ourselves. So in conclusion to this I guess I can say that both Ben and I are incredible people. So there. And I feel as if I can think this, everyone else can to. There are no sides to choose, because in reality, Ben and I are on the same side (I just got a little more hurt along the way.) All relationships end one of 2 ways and I just feel lucky that he was willing to take that 50% chance with me.
This does not mean that I'm not still sad, because I am. When you are the one that doesn't get the choice in the relationship, it is sad. And you even doubt who you are and your worth. But, I'm pretty good at being a survivor. I'm sure there are lessons to be learned and I'm praying to know what they are. The book, "Better than you think you are" has been amazing. One quote that I have loved  is, "We are not good judges of ourselves as we reach for goals that may belong to another season of our lives." This has been comforting! 
I'm planning on writing about my weekend tomorrow, so stay tuned! And thanks again for being so kind, loving and supportive of me. I feel like a goof getting all emotional and I'm trying hard not to but this to shall pass.
