What Other People think...

Of me, is none of my Business.

It has taken me years and years and years to not care what people think of me. I have been a people please-er most of my life. Catering what other people need, bending over backwards and giving my shirt...pretty literally when I couldn't afford to loose it.

Tonight I got two peoples opinions of me that I did not ask for or initiate.

   The old me would have been crushed in a million pieces and it would have taken me days to get over what they said to me tonight. Today I claim a victory!!! I know who I am in Christ and what people think of me is a reflection of where their heart is not where I am at. What freedom in all of that! WOW!!

It doesn't matter to me if you think I am a babysitter for my kids, or a real hard working mom. It doesn't matter if you think I am stupid or smart, if I am fat or plump or just right or lovely. It doesn't matter if you think I am good with money or good at my job or a good wife. I know who I am and that is why it doesn't matter. I am loved and loving...the rest is everyone else's problem.

So how did I get here???-Learned who God thinks I am, Learned who I want to be, Learned to let go of everything else. Hurting people Hurt people!  

                                                                    

Who You Are

Women...you have to watch this. I think I need to watch this every morning and every evening...till I really believe it.

Why is it so hard to accept?? I struggle accepting God's love, grace, and power. It is overwhelming, and yet comforting and freeing.

Women....you have to watch this. I needed to hear this tonight! When we feel like we can't go to another meeting, training, help someone else struggling, pick up that stupid toy on your way to bed that you just stepped on and left you in pain, listen to our husbands, or do another freaking load of laundry or dishes.

Why don't we give ourselves permission to not be perfect?? I struggle with perfectionism.

Women...you have to watch this. If you have breathe in your body there is still hope for change. I have a hard time grasping the change that comes.

Why don't we see the change...why don't we see the big picture in the present? I get tired of looking at the past to reference where I came from. Praise Jesus I am better than when I began.
