your talents

What's up, everyone? Can't believe it's another amazing Friday. So excited for GENERAL CONFERENCE coming SOON!!! I'll be sure to post on that sometime, lol, there's only about 1 more week, but anyways, here is today's quote.

"Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God."

-Leo Buscaglia

I love it! We came to this Earth, yes to be tested, but I like to think of it more as that we are here to learn and grow and become more like the God who gave us our talents and gifts. One analogy I've heard is that we were given a suitcase as we came down. Some of us got packed creativity, others empathy, kindness, love, strength, spunk, or courage. Of course, maybe what's more familiar is the parable of the talents. In that story, a talent was another word for a coin. In the end, the master was proud of both of the servants who exhibited growth, no matter their end results. 

On that beautiful day (I can only imagine, lalalaaa,) on the other side of the veil, when I meet my Heavenly Father, I want to say "thank you."

"Thank You so much for all of the gifts and talents and blessings You've given me."

But I don't just want to say that.

I want to show it. Now & with my life.

So that I can honestly say, "I've used them. I tried and failed, and worked, and hustled, and practiced, progressed, and worked to develop and grow the talents You gave me. And I used them to help others."

Lemme tell you. It has NOT always been pretty! Even now I know I still have lots of room to improve in lettering, my art, design, lol, even life. But it's all part of the journey, and I'm creating lots of messes and sharing them on Pinterest with confidence and joy.

And I'll continue doing this on Fridays! I love you all! Please Pin, follow, and share this lil' quote with anyone you think it could benefit. I'm officially fulfilled from all of this creating. But I need your help to get it out there so others can see it! :)❤❤

 So! Grow your talents! Know where they come from! Thank you so much for reading & stopping by.
