Good evening! Today I was feeling a bit under the weather, but was determined to meditate on this verse;
Isaiah 43:1
1 But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
I believe we have ALL dealt with ACCEPTANCE at some point in our lives. Not only feeling like we are not accepted by others, but accepting WHO we ARE!
I, myself, have suffered from self acceptance...
from not being pretty enough,
not being smart enough,
not being thin enough,
not being patient enough,
not being strong enough, and it goes on.
In the end, I have to remind myself that God made me! I am HIS! And by questioning why and how He made me, I am not honoring Him. I am saying, "God...you didn't do good enough!"
So someone may think that I am not pretty enough, smart enough, good enough, etc....but in the end..
I am a Child of God! I have to remind myself of that daily...and just be ME!!!
Bible used: NIV Journaling Bible by Crossway, girl with crown image was found on Google, This is actually a "tip in" piece because I had already worked on this page.
This shows the original journaling that I did last September. I used Washi Tape to adhere my new piece and it flaps over the original work. I can still enjoy both.
Like always, I used supplies I had on hand. A Martha Stewart border punch, ric-rac from Walmart ($1), Washi Tape, liquid glitter, patterned paper scraps, inks, and shiny doo-dads. All in PINK, my favorite color!!
Thank you for visiting my blog. Be Blessed!
