It's a new post! Isn't it cute.
Nevermind my lame attempt at an attention getter. Lets get into it.
So there are three weeks left in the semester and it's kinda freaking me out a little bit. It went by so fast that I didn't even have time to contemplate how fast it went by. O.o
Also something that has been on my mind lately is where one puts their value. Sometimes I feel terrible about myself and other times I feel pretty damn good. A lot of my self-value and esteem comes from other people and I really need to change that. I need to re-define some things in my life and file them in the "less important" drawer. I should get my identity in Christ, but do I? I'd like to say and think I do, but the problem lies within the fact that I don't act like it. I should have so much confidence in Jesus that I will have confidence in myself. If He is for us, then who can be against us?
Just last night on the way back from dropping Drew at O'hare, I was listening to a sermon by a southern dude that was about how we shouldn't worry. If anyone knows me at all, you will concure that I have problems when it comes to over-worry. This sermon really hit me hard because he said that worry was a sin and a slap in the face to God. If that is true then I should join the band "Godsmack" or something.
Right after that sermon, there was another by an Irish Gentleman about being thankful for everything and loving what you have to be truly happy. These two sermons were both about things that I know and I have heard, and yet I don't act them out. That's always the struggle.
I place my value in others' definitions of who I am, and what people I respect tell me about myself. I should be acting more like Jesus and not worrying so much about my value because I have value in Him! I should also learn to be more thankful for the fact that I am valued, and not just brush that fact aside like the other wise words I've heard before but never took to heart.
Take everything that it truly important to heart, you won't be disappointed. <3
