Think Positive. Do you ever find it hard to think positively about yourself or accept something said by others that is positive? I know I do. Do you find it easier to believe the bad things about yourself whether others have said it to you or you have told yourself? I know I do that too.

Remember this, you are a child of the King and He says that you are fearfully and wonderfully created (Psalm 139:14). Also remember that other people’s opinions of you are a THEM problem, not a YOU problem. If they want to think badly of you, let them. You can’t change that and it is okay.

Believe in Yourself

Believe in Yourself

Believe in Yourself

Believe in Yourself. I am the ultimate optimist when it comes to the lives of others. I can look into the brokenness of others and I can see the beauty of their future. However, I am the ultimate pessimist when it comes to me and my life. I am constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. It isn’t a great trait and it is one that I’m working on because of the Truths that the Lord has spoken over me. Jeremiah 29:11 states “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

I’ve always been someone who can see potential in others, but when it comes to myself, I struggle with believing in my own worth. It’s a difficult place to be, especially when you’re waiting for something to go wrong or anticipating failure, but I know I am not alone in this feeling. A lot of us have this tendency to focus on the negative, to dwell on the things we don’t do right or the mistakes we’ve made. But the truth is, we are not defined by our failures. We are defined by the promises of God.

Jeremiah 29:11 reminds me that God has good plans for me. He has a future for me that is full of hope. And this isn’t just a truth for others—it’s a truth for me, too. I can take comfort in knowing that He has a purpose for my life and that His plans are always for my good, even when I can’t see the whole picture.

Misery Loves Company

Brandi C

Misery Loves Company

Misery Loves Company

Misery loves company they say

But is it the misery the person wants to share

Or are they looking to someone for help?

But instead, bring them down too

Is the misery more infectious than the need for help?

Or does the person just not want it enough

Personally, I think I would rather suffer alone

Then to bring a friend down with me

I don’t want my friends and family to feel like this

I wouldn’t want anyone to feel like this

Like the whole world is sitting on my shoulders

just waiting for them to make the wrong move.

Just Waiting

Waiting for them to slip

Waiting for them to pull someone in

Waiting for them to not be alone

So they will share the misery

I don’t want to be infectious with hate

I don’t want to put bad things in people’s mind

I’d much rather put in light and love

But where can I start

To get back to that person

That everyone loved to be around

The person that was infectious to laughter

The person that loved others and at least liked herself

I guess I should start at the beginning again

And try to learn a new way of dealing with my sin

Instead of storing it away and letting it fester

I need to let it go and pray that it will work out in the end

Because I’d much rather love myself and help others

Then hate myself and essentially drown them

I don’t want to feed them the lies that I believe

That I’m not good enough

That I’m not worthy

Because we are good enough

We are all worthy of love

And not the misery.
