Forget-Me-Nots Along The Way

Thursday Thirteen Edition #57

The Thursday Thirteen challenge this week was to write thirteen things you like about yourself, since we tend to say negative things about ourselves a lot.  This is really hard for me!  It makes me feel uncomfortable because it feels like I am being conceited or fishing for compliments.  I like a song that Michelle Pillar sang in which the chorus goes, "When He sees me, He sees His righteousness.  He sees His Holy Spirit filling up the emptiness.  And when He looks at me, He sees the blood He shed.  I know He sees Himself each time He looks at me!"  Aren't those words powerful?  It is hard to believe.  Hard to accept at times.  But He is awesome. So in spite of my apprehension on this topic and my negative feelings this week, I am going to write 13 things I like about me.

1. I am creative

2. I am loyal

3. I love God with all my heart, mind, soul and strength

4. I am a good researcher (genealogy is one of my favorite hobbies!)

5. I am passionate about prayer

6. I am passionate about learning more about God/Bible study

7. I am a SAH wife and Mommy

8. I am a problem solver

9. I am a photographer

10. I am healing and desire growth (by God's touch in my life)

11. I write

12. I am honest

13. I persevere
