Being a warrior

Christian Sisters

What makes me weak?
My fears.
What makes me whole?
My God
What keeps me standing?
My faith.
What makes me compassionate?
My selflessness.
What makes me honest?
My integrity.
What sustains my mind?
My quest for knowledge.
What teaches me all lessons?
My mistakes.
What lift's my head high?
My pride, not arrogance.
What if I can't go on?
Not an option.
What makes me victorious?
My courage to climb.
What makes me competent?
My confidence .
What makes me sensual?
My insatiable essence.
What makes me beautiful?
My everything.
What makes me a woman?
My heart .
Who says I need love?
I do.
What empowers me?
My God & Me.
Who am I?
I AM A STRONG CHRISTIAN WOMAN!

I love this poem, or whatever you call it. It got my brain thinking again! I was watching a movie the other day and one thing struck my mind. I don't know the exact words that were said, but I remember the point. The point was this. We are not afraid of failing as much as we are afraid of succeeding. I know I am. I am afraid to do somethings in my life not because of failing, but because of the effort I will have to put into it and the fact that I will accomplish something and also that I am good enough to do the task. I am not talking about normal everyday tasks. I am talking about when someone asks you to something. I need to have more confidence in myself and believe in myself to accomplish what someone already knows I can do. I have been hearing a lot lately that we need to try and see ourselves the way God does. Obviously God thinks I am amazing and I need to believe that I am amazing too. So I am going to try my hardest this Christmas season and into the next year to believe in myself more. The Lord equipped me with the Spiritual gifts of service, mercy and hospitality. Also, my occupation is a wife, mother, and working in the lunch room at CCS (Country Christian) He knows I can operate in all areas of my life, not just a little bit in all of them. I want to be a warrior for Christ and accomplish all He has laid before me.
