Journey to Accept Yourself

-
ACCEPT YOURSELF as you are...continually working on growing and bettering yourself.
 
 
As I was journaling this morning, it became apparent that I had a difficult time accepting who God created me to be.  I still am a work in progress on this, too. 

Since my life-changing decision in 2007 to seek out how to share what's in my heart with others, I embarked on a journey of discovering, AND ACCEPTING, my gifts God created me with.  They are there for a purpose!

This journey of self-discovery and acceptance, and embracing it, has been tremendous.  It almost takes my breath away to look back and see the journey traveled.  I definitely have so much more growing to do, so much more to learn, but the journey is worth it.  The journey is what it's all about!


I encourage every woman to embrace who you are.  You were created the way you are for a reason.  Embark on that wonderful journey of self-discovery, & of how to use your gifts to serve others!

*Thankful for the journey.
*Thankful for 2nd chances to get it right!

It's never too late!

How NOT to Be Consumed with Queenly Disappointment

It happens.   You are standing there in the spotlight.   Grasping tightly the hand of the other girl.   Waiting. Waiting. Waiting for the emcee to puh-lease announce the first runner up.   Because you know…if your name is not announced, then YOU are the newly crowned queen of the pageant!   Then, it happens.   You hear YOUR name.   Sudden disappointment engulfs your whole being.   From the follicle of the hairs on your head to the tips of your beautifully sculptured toenails.   “Nooooooo!  My name was not to be called!” you scream silently in your head.   All the work you’ve done.   All the time you’ve put in.   All the emotion spent getting to that moment on stage….and it wasn’t meant to be.    Well, I have wonderful news for you, my sister –  all is not lost! Actually, NOTHING at all was lost, but a whole lot gained.  Take a look at the journey you traveled getting to that point. ...

Want to Know the Truth?

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of "truth" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior (Eph. 2:8-9) (Rom. 3:23, 6:23, 10:9-10 & 13) (John 3:16), we have the Holy Spirit living in us. He is the Spirit of truth.  One part of this means that... we can know what "truth" is.  There is only ONE truth -- God's truth.  Outside of knowing God... we cannot know truth!  And in order to know God, we must know Jesus. (John 14:6)   >>> (John 14:16-17) - words of Jesus ... "...And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Counselor (Holy Spirit) to be with you forever -- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SO, to know and see the " truth" of what is going on in our world... know Jesus. 💗 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
