As I’ve been preparing for the race, I’ve read a lot of blogs about how God has broken down walls in order to prepare people for the race. And I’ve thought a lot about what walls God has broken down in order to prepare me for the race and I honestly couldn’t think of anything. Until I realized it was my self-confidence.
In just a little over a month, I’ll be going to Georgia for training camp and while there, I’ll get to meet my squad. I’m beyond excited to meet them but there’s also a huge part of me that is extremely nervous. I’m scared that they will look at all my flaws and decided that they don’t like me. I’ve always been this way. Meeting new people really makes me nervous because they might judge me for all my flaws. This time just makes me even more nervous because there will be close to 50 new people that I’ll meet.
One of the things that I most dislike about myself are my feet.

It’s probably one of the weirdest things to dislike about myself and probably the last thing, if they even look at them, someone will look at when they meet me. But it’s something I’ve always disliked about myself until recently.
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news of happiness…” Isaiah 52:7
This verse may be used a lot and is probably not meant to be interpreted as the physical appearance of feet but that’s how God used it for me. He showed me that I need to start from the bottom and build my self-confidence in Him.
He’s also shown me that people don’t pick out my flaws as much as I think they do. That many of my friends now and the future people I’ll meet, wont even notice my flaws.
God showing me that there is nothing wrong with my feet is just the beginning. I know that I’ll probably always find something wrong with myself but I just have to remind myself that God sees not one of my flaws. He sees me, and all of His sons and daughters, as perfect.
