I've been blessed with some wonderful people in my life. People who encourage me, and help me learn about myself. I'm also convinced that I have the best husband on the planet. I had a chance to talk through some things on Friday, and all weekend I pondered what I learned. Then, yesterday at church, my pastor preached this sermon, and it was like a continuation of the conversation from Friday. I love it when that happens. {And honestly, it happens alot.}
I'm learning that I beat myself up alot. I worry about what people think, and I lose out on a whole lot of wonderful because I don't trust myself. I'm also learning that I don't have to do that. There is a difference between perceived danger and actual danger, and I have to learn to recognize the difference.
I am loved. I have a wonderful, supportive family, the best husband, and great friends. To top it all off, I have a God who wants nothing but the best for me, and that's pretty awesome.
I want to work past my fears, and answer the call to bless others. I want to go to the deep waters. I want to experience life outside my comfort zone, because the few times I've ventured there have been some of the best times of my life.
Wishing you all a week full of blessings. I hope you all know how awesome you are.
Those are definitely words to live by! I often worry about what people think too.
