I’ve been doing a little thinking about boundary setting lately…
What is your perspective?

You are a …
mother, father, wife, husband, daughter, son,
leader, assistant, friend, teacher, student, counselor,
nurse, lover, fighter, musician, poet,
sister, brother, man, woman…
None of it defines who you are.
None of it speaks to your value or worth.
No matter what you do, no matter what roles you have in life
You have value just in being you.

So I’m not perfect

So I’m not perfect
Is that a surprise?
maybe only to myself.
In my mind
I know
that no one is perfect.
and yet
I expect myself to be?
I beat myself up
when I make a mistake
I agonize over what I
should have
done differently.
I need to learn how to forgive myself
for not being perfect.
One of the hardest things to do
and yet
I know
it is a key
to a peaceful heart.
So I chose to forgive myself
And ask God to help me
release myself
from the need to be perfect
for today at least
uh-oh, what’s that you say?

friendly conversation
chit chat
laughter
wait
what’s that?
you don’t agree with my opinion?
uh – oh
what now?
why did I say that?
I must be wrong!
I must not know what I’m talking about!
I must find a way to fix this!
wait
I don’t need to fix anything.
I’m allowed to have differing opinions.
It’s ok when we don’t agree.
What I think counts for something.
Because I count for something
I have value
I am loved
And even if God Himself disagrees with me,
He still loves me.
Am I Valuable?

When I don’t know my value
When I don’t recognize
(or appreciate)
My own strengths and talents
My life is not all it could be.
My doubt of my worth has an impact on how I live my life.
My doubt of my worth has an impact on my interactions with others.
My doubt of my worth has an impact on God, and all He has planned for me.
I have a desire to live my life to the fullest.
No longer will I hold back.
It’s time.
Time to be open.
Time to take risks.
Time to acknowledge all that is good in me.
Time to offer my value to others.
Time to become all that I can be.
I am worth it
And so are you.
