Heavenly Confidence

God is outstanding, and so are you!

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

God thought about you.

We often hear that we should have confidence in who we are. Afterall, we are uniquely and wonderfully made...but what does that exactly mean? And how does it apply to you? How amazing is it that God thought about you Like he thought of your name, all the gifts he wanted to give you to succeed, and every other little detail in between. How amazing is that? I hope you take notes for this blog post. Every detail God created you with should be a cause for celebration.

Let me be honest, I viewed confidence in 2 ways. Having confidence used to look like having to say affirmations, wearing certain types of clothes, and feeling my worth was in what I did/do. It lacked depth for me and still does honestly. Knowing who, what, and why I was created and loving every single flaw about me; felt like owning who I was. It felt like I was allowing myself room to grow into an even more AWESOME version of myself. I could just be airing my dirty drawls about how I always felt about confidence, but I think it's necessary. I had to call in Big Papa for this one. As we have discussed or will discuss on my blog, I had no clue who I was until I met God one-on-one. God is my best friend and my biggest fan. (Yours too, boo! God is omnipresent, omniscience and omnipotent.) When I started seeking God for who I was and why am I was so special (Because I swore people were lying!) He slowed me down and made me look at all the skills I had. I could read someone a list of their skills and how they could apply them to each area of their life, and Yahweh was like, "Yeah, do that, but for you." When I tell you I was mind blown.

Like God, I am the woman I always wanted to be! Little T would be so proud and high-school Troy would be smiling so big. She was so shy... I wish I could go back and hug myself. God does not require anything he didn't already in place down inside of us. I started feeling really good about this body, mind, heart, and personality of mine. I really am Great! God created me so!

God has crafted this amazing woman and I should feel like-

A Masterpiece!

God has created us in his likeness and in his image. Now that I know that for myself, it has unlocked confidence in me that sits right. I feel so at home in my own body. I love myself and who I am constantly becoming. All that I can do, I enjoy! I am the mold-breaker. That's the only requirement about being confident I think anyone should have. I can't bring myself to care about someone not liking me because I am different. If you wanted someone like you around, then clone yourself or find someone who is like you! But as for me and my house? I'm going to find other art pieces created by God.

I DON'T FIT ANYWHERE AND I LOVE IT.

THAT IS HEAVENLY CONFIDENCE. I have a challenge for you. For seven days, I want you to look at the sky. Are two skies ever the same? Let me know your results, but I'll share mine. There's always something different each time. Maybe birds flying, planes flying, colors are distinct and so are the clouds. God is truly a master creator. So why shouldn't I feel confident about who I am? The sky doesn't worry about looking different every day. I would even say it looks forward to what God is doing next! That's the kind of confidence only the creator can bring!

PEACE,

I want to hear from you!
