First and foremost, I want to thank all of you who have supported me through your finances and prayers so far. I have reached 50% of my fundraising goal! I am humbled by your incredible generosity.
To the people that are taking the time to follow my blog, I promise that I will always give you complete honesty. Whether it’s a subject that’s hard to talk about or a blog about praise, I am committing to tell you the truth. While I was thinking about this, it brought me to write a blog about my biggest fault.
I care so much what other people think about me. I care what people say about me to other people. I care if people think I’m attractive or not. I care about if people think I’m nice. I care about if people like my new hair color or not. I care about whether people think I’m witty on Twitter. I care about people’s general perceptions of me.
While I fully admit that it is important to have a good reputation and for people to think favorably of me, my focus should be on what God thinks of me. Sometimes, I think that I care more about what the people I’m surrounded by see in me than what God sees in me. I constantly need to be reminded of who God says I am and not who humans think I am.
What God says concerning who and what I am:
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
I am redeemed.
I am chosen.
I am beautiful.
I am radiant.
I am precious.
I am holy and beloved.
I am a child of God.
I am loved.
May we always remember who God says that we are and find peace.
