Self Image.
That's the hardest thing that girls go through. The devil really uses our minds to make us think horrible things about yourself. Lies.
I struggle with it big time. On and off. The last few weeks have been hard. I get one bad thought in my had and its a domino effect from there. I am stupid. I can't do anything right. I make huge mistakes. I am too emotional. My feelings get hurt too easily! God didn't make me to be so sensitive I am failure. I am soo fat and so ugly.. Once it starts it goes through your mind you can't get it to stop. So you put on a fake smile and pretend everything is okay during your day when really your mind is a whirl wind of lies that you start believing more and more. You look in a mirror and every time you look in you look uglier and fatter you get.
So what do you do when you get into moments like this? I personally want to crawl into my bed and not get up. I want to hide away from the rest of the world.
What I do... I get up! I put on a smile. Sometimes fake sometimes real. I continue with my daily routines. I keep praying. I find the joys in my life. The gifts I have been given. Simple things. May sound dumb but helpful. My cats. Gifts from God. I can hug them and love them and they always love me. My favorite shirt. I have great fingers. I can write. I have pretty eyes. My friends. God gave me great friends. We may fight bicker pick on each other in times of fun but we LOVE each other despite our flaws. Start thinking of the little things they start getting bigger and bigger and more and more. Then I find something I like to do. Watch a Favorite episode of a show. Read a Favorite Book. Listen to a Favorite song. Go spend time with someone who builds me up not tear me down. Soon The Devils voice is not heard anymore.
The hardest part is remembering to get your mind to start thinking this way when you are down. Maybe find someone you can confide in that will remind you of these things and pray with you. Help you think of positives.
God made us all. He is perfect and he made us just the way he wanted. HE DID NOT MAKE A MISTAKE! You are his wonderful perfectly created beautiful child.
Soo... Time to take my own advice! The last two days have been rough!
Satan GO AWAY!
Shout it with me!
We are beautiful sisters in Christ.
Good thoughts in my head. Bed time :)
