6 ugly words. 6 words that make me feel ugly, ashamed, unworthy. 6 words that have brought me to this place. At twenty-eight, I expect to have myself at least somewhat together. Do I have a speck of confidence? I often wonder to myself. I have my moments. There are moments where I feel proud and brave. I wake up in the morning, drink my forbidden coffee, read my Bible, activate my faith and think, “Hey! I can do this thing called Life. I’ve got Jesus. I’ve got my strengths. I’ve got my friends, talents, I look cute today!” and then the next day, I’m wiping tears from my eyes and texting “please pray” to a group of friends. Why?

6 ugly words that make me feel downright ugly, ashamed, unworthy.

I’m tired.

Something Greater

I’ve tried the affirmations. I’ve tried the self-care. But I believe that God is making something new. He’s leading me into something greater than self-confidence. He’s leading me into God-Confidence and healing for my ugly, dark heart. (We all have them!) He’s leading me into Glory & Growth and I want to invite you to come along with me and whoever else embarks on this journey.

I put forth that this blog is not something I am able to do on my own, I’m not strong enough, disciplined enough, passionate enough, talented enough, or confident enough. But I’m putting faith in God that He will make this into what He wants and that through it He will receive glory.

Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom. We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
