Funny enough, when I think about creating an impact, I'm actually scared of making an impact or being Big Betsy, because I honestly feel like the glory is not mine. I don't have what it takes to be happy again after losing my daughter. But I have faith and I have hope. And I believe in this freaking amazing man that's got my back, and that gives me strength when I don't have what it takes. So what I want is for people to see him in me. What I want is for people to look at me and bypass my face so that they can see him. And to me, that's also a way of getting closer to my daughter because he's a God of mercy and he's letting me in. I hope because I need to embrace my daughter again. But I feel that if I let him guide me and direct me and use me to bring hope, then I know for sure that I'll get to embrace my daughter again. So I'm not worried about creating an impact myself. I am worried about people seeing beyond me.
