The Lies I Once Believed

The lies I once believed…

“You are not good enough!”
“You can’t do that, you will fail!”
“You are not beautiful enough!”
“You are nothing!”
“You are worthless!”

Those are lies that I have believed for the past 20 plus years of my life. The enemy has smothered me with fear and doubt. I never realized what a powerful hold he had over me until recently. I look back on my life and see the enemy pushing down the greatness that has so badly wanted to shine through because the enemy was afraid of how powerful I could be if I believed in myself.

Guess what!? It is happening! My greatness is beginning to shine and the enemy better watch his back! I attended a gathering with a group of women and we were challenged to ask God to tell us who we are. Before I was even able to start writing tears began to stream down my face. He couldn’t wait for me to start writing and this is what He told me.


Bridgette…

You are beautiful
You are GOOD ENOUGH!!!!
You deserve to be treated well
Your heart overflows with love
You are stronger than you think
You deserve better than what you settle for
You are loved even when you feel abandoned
You are a fighter!!
You are caring
You are compassionate
You are smarter than you think
You have dreams and I will show them to you
You are WORTHY!!!

It's a Wildlife...




Welcome to my trip to Wildlife Safari with my friends Kori and Amy. We had so much fun!!


Amy, Kori, and I found some ways to entertain ourselves.

While we were vistiting the gift shop we overheard a lady signing up to feed and pet an elephant. This wasn't really something we could do was it? But it was!! We signed up and rode the bus to the elephants and this is where we met George. Above is his footprint.



George is showing us his moves.


George says "Feed me, I'm hungry!"


Here we are getting to pet Mr. George up close. His trunk was the most interesting texture. I'm so glad that we were able to do this! One of the best parts of the trip for me.


Another highlight of the trip was watching Kori ride Calvin the Camel. She was the only brave soul to ride the camel and she did it so well.


Driving around the park we saw this guy just walking down the road that we were on. It was absolutely amazing being able to see him so close.



Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed just a little taste of our adventure to Wildlife Safari.
