We all did it even though we don't remember. At one point in our lives, we went from crawling all 4s to standing and walking on 2! But it didn't happen like magic, no it took time and patience. But it also took something more!

It took strength!

Yes, I hear you saying, of course, it took strength. But physical strength isn't what I'm talking about right now. I'm talking about mental strength! For as many times as a baby succeeds to stand there are probably about 4 to 5 times as many times where he fell. What astounds me that he will continue to keep trying to stand over and over and over again, dispite knowing that he might fall, now that has to be scary, I mean have you seen the way some babies fall?! Yet he keeps getting back up and trying!

So at what point in our lives do we stop fighting our fears and let them control us?!

Watching Owen through this process made me think about how scared I have been throughout my life and how many times I never did what might have been the best thing because I listen to my fears, and didn't try! I let my fears keep me caged for so long. It took becoming pregnant with Owen for me to start to face my fears and realize that I had greatness in me, despite being told otherwise through out my life! I fell a bunch of times and you know what? I'm still falling, BUT I'm getting right back up and because of that fall, I'm a little stronger! And guess what?! I'm standing, before you know it I'm gonna be walking and then running!

Now it's your turn and I'm here to help you!
