Today is brought to you by the letter I

The letter I.... specifically Inadequate, Insignificant and Insight

Most days I feel insignificant. Feeling that I am not important to anyone. That if when I am out of sight I am out of mind. Or if I am not doing something for you, you have no use for me.

Then there are the inadequate days. The feeling that I am not enough or not good at anything I attempt. Whether it's work or losing weight.

Today I started seeing a therapist. I let my feelings flow freely out of my mouth. I told her things it takes me years to tell some people. If I ever tell them. And she said I have a lot of insight to my life. I find that the insight comes from my relationship with God. I know the truths about me thru Him.

Romans 12:2 reads, "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect His will really is."

God is transforming me!!! But it has been on my terms (that's why it's taking so long) and I think of the lyrics to Steal My Show:

My life
My friends
My heart
It's all Yours, God
Take it away
My dreams
My fears
My family
My career
Take it away
Take it away
It's all Yours, God
Take it away
Take it away
It's You I wanna live for

So I am breaking my chains and giving it to God!!! All of it!!

2014 Overcomer

I chose a word instead of making a New Years Resolution. My word is Overcomer!!! Those who know me know I have a girl crush on Mandisa. And her song Overcomer has spoke to me!! When I first started thinking about a word to describe what I wanted in 2014 I thought Content.... hmm.. I want to be happy at any stage in my life but content sounds like I'm happy without changes. So I threw that one out. Then I thought Unstoppable, which is a good word. But while talking with my Bestie she said "Overcomer is your word, you WILL overcome this year. You have lined up your ducks and it's time to beat this." And she's right. I will overcome in 2014 and then I'll be Unstoppable in 2015.

Today at church we had to list the things we'd like to reset in 2014.

• My negative thoughts
• My relationship with God
• My relationship with food

I can Overcome with God I can replace the negative thoughts with his positive thoughts and I can replace my relationship with food with God. He is my first priority. I want to live and breathe for Him!!!!

Excerpt from Overcomer...
The same Man, the Great I am
The one who overcame death
Is living inside of You
So just hold tight, fix your eyes
On the one who holds your life
There's nothing He can't do
He's telling You

You are from God, little children, and you have defeated these people because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
