Over the past few weeks I had been trying to push myself for change. There are many things I want to accomplish and many changes that have to be made so that these things can come into fruition. I shared in my post yesterday about staring fear in the face and acknowledging your feelings, and that is exactly what I have been trying to do!. I am not and would never say that it is an easy feat, it isn't, it is not an overnight thing either. There are somethings that I find easier to do than others. When it comes to the practical sides of planning and sorting out others I find this much easier to deal with than if I were to do the same thing for myself.
We can constantly be fighting to change how we think about ourselves and then out of the blue some random person says something and that opens a door up to our understanding. Every now and again I do compare myself to those in my field asking myself "what do I think I am doing?". I want to add value to my work and for it to be of quality, speaking to the hearts of others, yet as I type these words I am reminded that I first need to value myself and not sell myself short, embracing all that I am, all that I was and all that I am yet to be.
This 'perfect', 'got it all together' person doesn't and will never exist. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and at some point we will all have a moment when we release an offering in the world that might be less than perfect - so what - we pick ourselves up, we have taken that important step, we learn from it and then we move on. This is so much better than to not have tried at all and be asking yourself "what if".
As we delve into getting to know and understand ourselves better, we need to give ourselves a fighting chance and we will reveal the hidden treasures that are waiting to come out. We all have treasure within, it's whether or not you feel your worth the time. My encouragement today is to spend the time searching, seeking, asking those difficult questions, and most of all listening.as
you learn to turn down the volume of your mouth and open up both of your
ears to hear, your brain will process the information and your
understanding will increase. Sometimes it will feel uncomfortable, but the benefits that will reveal themselves to you will far outweigh anything that you think you are going through .......
God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that he
should change His mind. Does He speak
and then not act? Does He promise and
not fulfil? Numbers 23:19
Stand firm then, with the belt
of truth buckled around your waist, with
the breastplate of righteousness in place, Ephesians 6:14
Here
I am! I stand at the door and
knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I
will come in and
eat with that person, and they with me Revelations 3:20
