On Not Being 'Good Enough'

A Christian woman strives to see herself through a more loving, more accepting pair of eyes:

"I had a thought a few weeks ago... What if all these fears were in fact a bunch of lies? What if I treated them as such; nothing but tall tales and untruths? How would that play into my every day life, if I daily refused to listen to the lies of not being good enough?"

I absolutely applaud this idea of not listening to the lies about not being good enough. That is a killer and one I have dealt with all my life. Now I listen to those voices less and less. Thank you for sharing this important work. Barbara

wonderful post. reminds me that my "name" was born out of that season in my life where I started to question that negative self-talk. I realized I didn't have to reinvent myself or try to be something I wasn't & all I'd ever need to bring to any job, any relationship, any situation was "the me I be"

I love her post, very beautiful. I have finally come to realize that I'm a strong woman, I've been through more than many people will ever go through in life. And that some of my feelings of inadequacy comes from some people around me. And you know what? I don't need them.

I nicely tell my ego to be quiet and then I affirm that I am good enough. I also believe that we all have gifts to share and that every contribution matters.

Pray, and remind myself how God loves me just the I am.

My first thought was 'I shoot them' but then I realized that's no good
