Let's give them something to blog about...

So, last night we had our book club meeting at Perk up and it was great. I can’t say that I got anything really eye opening. We had some girl time with girl talk and revelations from the last couple of weeks. We left with our reading assignment, next meeting time and instructions to bring a discussion question next week. I came home and washed my face and started talking to God. I really wanted him to show me something to blog about. I mean we just had this book club and I should have something meaningful and insightful right? I wanted something clever. A couple of things came to mind but never really went anywhere OR it was something that someone else had done.

That one statement leads me down a.n.o.t.h.e.r. road completely.

I didn’t feel that what I had to say in my blog was good enough. I don’t have a cute blog like (insert name here) I don’t have as many followers as (insert name here). (Insert name here) always comments on (insert name here)’s blog but never on mine. I found myself in this comparison battle A.G.A.I.N.

When I compare myself with others I am ultimately telling myself that I am lacking something. The comparison can be a big as a house or as small as a blog the result is the same. The result is the lie that Adam and Eve believed in the garden; that they were lacking something and look at the mess that caused!

I am made in God’s image. God is complete, whole and perfect. I am complete, whole and perfect. I am just what God has intended me to be! I am not intended to be a carbon copy of anyone else. We all live in different houses. We all drive different cars. We all have different blogs (I had to throw that in there since this is where it started).

Proverbs 23:7
"As a man thinks in is heart, so is he"

I will end with that final quote. What do I think I am in my heart? Do I think that I am good enough? Do I think that my words can influence anyone? If my words are just words on a paper and ramblings of someone trying to find their way and influence no one, am I still good enough? YES! I am perfect just the way I am. When I have it all together and when I don’t. When I am financially stable or when I am financially struggling. When I am feeling accepted or when I am feeling rejected. I am enough. God made me and he don’t make no junk!
