OK Say it with me.................. I LOVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just finished reading a book called Strenghts Finder 2.0 and taking an online test to discover my Strengths. It is an awesome book, and to be honest I was a little scared to take it. Who knows why?
The premise of the book,is to stop focusing on your weaknesses, and learn what your Strengths are, and focus on them, and learn how to best work with what you've got! I love this idea, and I have decided that this is where I want to head in my life.
I am painfully aware of my weaknesses, and I am ready to find out things about myself, and what I am good at.
As I was ready to fall asleep (after I had flossed my teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I said, "I Love Me" and I really felt the affirmation of the Father and that He was happy to hear me say that.
He said, "Tell all the bloggers I want them to say that about themselves, every day"
So, say it with me "I LOVE ME"
Let's not judge ourselves so harshly, and pick ourselves apart. I am on a Reformation not to speak words of judgement about myself and others. I was filled with joy last night when I found myself thinking those thoughts. It caught me by surprise, and did it ever feel good!
"How precious are Your thoughts towards me O God, how vast is the sum of them, if I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand."
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, Not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
Say it one more time, just to make Him smile........................... I LOVE ME

Thanks Cheryl,
I need to say this more often I think...I have come such a long way in this area, but not near where God wants me...."I LOOOVVVEEE ME!!"
Jen
Good Cheryl.
I have been saying this for a long time now, but sometimes it gets hard and you don't always believe it.. (me, when I'm prego!)
If so many people love you girl, you MUST love yourself.... Plus, God loves you most.
Hannah would say "Yeah, but who loves you mostus?" and then point up in the air and say "Ah, JESUS!"

" I love me!!!" ...I said it! ;o)
Very good word Cheryl. Thanks...it seems that we ALL need to hear it, again and again!
And don't you all think that HANNAH should have her own blog (with her mom's help, of course)!!??!!
Hannah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are so awesome and beautiful, I love you!!!

Cheryl,
I just posted a few more pics of your hair on my site. The back of yours looks an awful lot like mine, but I kept the front pieces longer. I'll try to post some of Lindsays room tomoro.

Ever think of this: we are to "love others as we love ourselves" Pretty hard to do the first part if we don't have the second part. Thank you Cheryl for sharing this revelation. (Where is this online test?)
There is a funny story about animals who tried to "strengthen" their weak areas - the duck's webbed feet hurt from practicing to run faster - they all spent too much time on things they couldn't change. The lesson to learn was "if you're a duck, be a duck." BE who God created you to be, not what you think you "should" be. LOVE who God made you to be. :o) He doesn't make mistakes!!
Cheryl
You have to buy the Strenghts Finder 2.0 book and it comes with a code to take the online test and offer support for you to move towards utilizing your strenghts.
Its worth the money, plus it helps you value and understand people with other strengths, and teaches you what they need as well.
That book sounds very interesting. I really like the premise of it.
Focus on your strengths. Hmmmm. Learning how to be what God created us to be. What an interesting concept. I LIKE IT!!!
Thanks for sharing these great finds Cheryl!
Love, Rhonda
aaaaHHHHH!!! Ok...I said it...but I didn't feel it. I must need to say it a bit more!:o) Thanks for the encouraging word and the continued transparency.
luv you lady!
