Nichole! It's been forever. <br /><br />Although I think that I was in some ways discouraged about where I was at last year, in some ways it was good, too. I felt unworthy, not in an "I can't do this" way, but in an "I'm going to need a lot of God's strength to do this" way. Unworthy in the that I don't deserve God's grace to serve Him at all because I am imperfect, but still acknowledging that He LOVES me and even sent His Son to die for me, and that I'm precious and honored in His sight.<br /><br />At least, that's how I feel now. I guess I can't promise that's how I felt when I wrote that. I think maybe we were seeing the word "unworthy" in different lights. If you ever read this. :) It was so great to hear from you! It's been too long. I hear you're married!

I read this one, and I can't seem to get one of your last statements out of my head:<br />"Anyway, I do know that He will use me even though I am unworthy."<br /><br />I want to start off by first saying... I do not want you to feel like i'm telling you how to feel or what to think, but I need to say this:<br /><br />My belief is that God loves us and only wants us to be happy and satisfied in all areas of our life, regardless of anything we do or do not do. And he would never view you negatively in any way, or want you to view yourself as such. <br /><br />You viewing yourself as unworthy is only detrimental to you, because if you can't believe in yourself, noone will. I'm not saying you must always be positive, but NEVER talk down to yourself. (Caps is used as empasis, not anger)<br /><br />I know you weren't always like this, or you hid it very well. I hope you are able to face and conquer this insecurity and any others that may come your way. <br /><br />Be Confident, Be True to yourself, Love life...Nothing can stand in your way if you don't let it.niromale9949https://www.blogger.com/profile/03518397617959557575noreply@blogger.com
