Inspired

Everyone has at least one person in their life who has influenced them in some way, and if we're honest there is probably more than one person who has inspired you at a different time in your life. I can think of several very influential people that I have come into contact with who have either helped to shape who I am, or to inspire me to do better. There is one person who will always stick out in my mind as being my leader. It may sound cliche, but the person who inspires me the most is my mom.

Ever since I was little girl, I've been taught to work hard for everything you get and to always try your best. Another thing I've learned is to never take what you have for granted. My mother has always worked hard for everything we've ever had and watching her do so has not only taught me to work hard, but to be thankful for what I have as well. She also had tp trust in God to take care of us for a lot of the time because there were times when she just couldn't seem to make ends meet. I can honestly say that because of her faithfulness, I have seen miracles happen.

Lastly, she taught me how to be a servant. As Christians, we are taught to put others before ourselves and to love with a servant's heart. My mom always put us before herself, and she also put others before herself. If anyone needed her help, she would go out of her way to help them and to be there for them. I am now seeing this in my own life. To me, this is where I find joy; in serving others.

Again, I could have named a number of people who have inspired me in my life, but my mom will always stand strong in my life.
