Isn't that just how we are?!? I was also blessed by your reminder to weigh carefully the words of those I respect and admire.

I...Hi Carol,<BR/>I enjoyed reading your heartfelt post. I don't have those people in my life who say good things about me. I was thinking of that when I read what Patsy said. I imagine if others heard things I said to myself, they may disagree. <BR/><BR/>I don't know why, but it is comforting in a way, that there are others out there who experience the kind of thinking we do. I wonder if there are many who are truly comfortable with who they are, and who they are in Christ. I am learning to listen to God more, and am so thankful, but I still listen to myself, and probably Satan's lies. I am so thankful that I know God forgives me and I will spend eternity with Him in heaven!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250802684753782184.post-53783237992957729262009-01-22T22:28:00.000-08:002009-01-22T22:28:00.000-08:00Carol, I really loved your post. I love what you ...Carol, <BR/>I really loved your post. I love what you shared about the spiritual gifts test you took, and how you discounted it so easily.<BR/>I have done that so many times. It has been so hard for me to recognize anything that I am good at. The first time that my counselor asked me what I liked about myself, I couldn't find a thing to say. To help me, she threw a pillow in a chair across the room, and said look at that pillow, pretend its you and say, "I like.... about her." I can't tell you how long it took me to come up with even one thing. I think it was, "I like her eyes.." but I'm not sure.<BR/>It is so crazy how we can just cut ourselves down, and that negative talk can be so much a part of us, that we don't even realize it's going on... continuously counteracting anything positive that anyone says about us, or anything that we might find out new about ourselves, that might give us something to look forward to or be hopeful about!<BR/>That's all the enemy wants. To take a lie, just a little one, and twist it into the framework of our lives enough that he can get a complete strangle hold on us!<BR/>I will be praying for you my friend. Keep being open and honest. I love reading what you have to say. You are a great writer, and I love stopping by here and seeing anything new you have up!<BR/>Love you so much!<BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250802684753782184.post-34471568092618719842009-01-22T17:41:00.000-08:002009-01-22T17:41:00.000-08:00PS: I love your scrap/create space.

My goodness we think alike in so many areas.<BR/>I loved the same statement from Pasty as you chose.<BR/>It really made sense to me and made me Think!<BR/>I have been doing a lot of root digging of late and attempting to allow God to plant some new ones deep withing my soul.<BR/>Blessings to you, CindyJoy Junktionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396533426075869292noreply@blogger.com
