Wear Your Heart on Your Hands

Hey girls, it’s time to get inspired! We talk the talk, but can we walk the walk? And yes, that’s right—we don’t have to be models to show off who we are!
It’s all about wearing your heart on your hands.

It’s overwhelming when all of the pressures of the world fall down on us!
But one thing I am able to remember through the sin and hardships life brings is to live life to the fullest, to be brave and to pray continually.
How do I remember this? I wear a few simple rings on my fingers. These are rings my mom has gotten me over the years, ones which have inspirational phrases written on them.
Whenever I’m feeling a loss of hope, I look down at my hands and read the rings I wear.
One ring reads:
“Love Life. Be Brave.“
When I read this, I remember that life is a precious gift from God and it’s meant to be filled with happiness. I’m able to cherish life most after I read the “Be Brave” part. Life is full of sin and anguish. But when I seek God with my entire heart, I’m more confident I’m able to overcome obstacles and enjoy life to its fullest.
Another ring I wear has a cross on it. My parents got it for me for graduation and it represents good judgment and positive decisions. Whenever I find it hard not to mesh with the world, I look down at my cross and remember God put me here to represent Him in all I do.
The third ring I wear says,
“Trust”
Trusting in God has been one of my struggles. But when I read it, it’s like God speaking to me and telling me that He will fulfill his promise for me here on Earth.
These three rings I wear inspire me to live life in a positive way.
What phrase inspires you? Chances are they make a ring with your name on it!
