Day 7- A deeper vision of yourself; Slip into a new self-confidence

A Deeper Vision Of Yourself

Our second stage of this journey is about taking a second look at your self. We are going to self evaluate a few of the most important aspects in our lives. Since we are women some of these topics are hard ones for us to face alone, and that is why we are going to do it together. Let’s take these next few days to be completely vulnerable and honest with ourselves, tweaking the areas that need maitenence and polishing up the real jewels that rest deep within our soul.

Day 7- Slip into a new self-confidence

I know that everything I have been up to this point has shaped and molded me into exactly the person I am supposed to be. On the contrary why am I so determined to be perfect? Not that perfection isn't a standard we should all strive for, it is just simply unattainable. As I caught myself the other day while getting ready to go somewhere wondering if my outfit will be as cute as everyone else's. Superficial I know, but we all do things like this. As a woman we feel the need to be perfect or "our best" all the time. We feel like we have so much pressure from society to do so.  The actuality of it is we do this to ourselves. "You left the house a mess and laundry everywhere, you aren't being clean enough for God. You are a mess." Jeez, a couple of dirty socks and we immediately turned ourselves into a terrible woman and wife. I know when I don’t have confidence in myself and I fail at something I immediately start thinking "Well there you go again, you knew you couldn't do this. Why did you even try? You can't get anything right." Do you ever find yourself doing that? How are we supposed to be the strong, but meek, confident, but vulnerable, intelligent, and CAPTIVATING women the Lord intended us to be when we secretly treat ourselves like crap. We need to be praying to God for the strength to encourage ourselves every chance we get. Pray for him to give you the wisdom to continue being true to who you are and learning to fall in love with who that is.

Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will discover good.  -Proverbs 19:8

Lord, Help us to look at ourselves in a new light. May it become easier each and every day to love who we are. Ultimately you created us and down to the very last touch we are perfect to you so please teach us how to love ourselves unconditionally like you do.
