Why do I
sometimes feel
shame
or
embarrassment
for the things
that make me
unique?
for the things
that make me
complex?
God loves
those things
about me
even when they aren’t pretty

We Will be Healed
Posted in Photo quotes, Self worth, tagged God's love, healing, health, self worth on January 21, 2012| Leave a Comment »
We will be healed.
It may not be exactly
how we think it should be
how it should look
when it should happen
what should be gone
what should be forgotten
but He is there
and He will hold you
through it all
and we will be healed.
Psalm of Praise

O God, praise your name!
I am blessed to know you
To be able to talk with you
To know you listen
to my words and cries
To know you care
about the simple things I ponder
You bring comfort to me
You lift me in times of sadness
You celebrate with me in times of joy
You know my weaknesses
and love me anyway
You see me
as perfect
as the robes of your Son
cover me
Your grace
coats my flesh
sealing my skin
in radiant light
I am covered by you
I am loved by you
I am blessed
You Can’t Make Me

You can’t make me
say any certain words
feel any certain feelings
think any certain thoughts
look any certain style
act any certain way
be any certain woman
You can
criticize
cajole
critique
advise
intimidate
mock
“help”
but still
You can’t
make me
anything.
I choose
my actions
reactions
I choose
to know
who I am
separate from
who you think
I am
instead
connected to
who God thinks
I am
Prayer for the New Year

Dear Heavenly Father,
A new year approaches
I thank you for the opportunity it brings
to see you better
to know you deeper
to let go of my need for control
let go of my need to know all the answers
before I even know the questions
another opportunity to start fresh
to learn something new
to love
to trust
to sing
to sit in your arms
Thank you for loving me
even though I don’t understand it all the time
I know it’s real
and I will cherish it.
I’m OK Anyway

Even though you didn’t…
Treat kindly
Encourage unabashedly
Think thoughtfully
Protect fiercely
Wait patiently
Speak sweetly
Touch gently
Listen compassionately
Give unselfishly
Trust completely
Love unconditionally
And I deserve it
all
God can do it
all
You’re not perfect
I’m not perfect
But with God’s love
and grace
I’m ok anyway
Expectations
Posted in Poetry, Self worth, tagged expectations, God's love, letting go, lies, poetry, self worth, value on December 8, 2011| 2 Comments »
Sometimes
when things don’t go exactly as I thought they would go
for whatever reason
I attack myself.
I beat myself up.
I wonder why it happened
the way that it did,
and in the pit of myself,
believe that it’s my fault.
Expectations. Evil Expectations.
When they are not met,
by others
or myself
Somehow, that instantly reflects on my worth.
The self condemnation starts
It must be that I’m not good enough,
It must be that I did something wrong.
But that’s a lie.
I know the truth.
I know that no matter what I do,
No matter how I imagine things
No matter how things happen
I am loved.
I am valued.
I am precious.
And I don’t have to meet my own expectations,
or yours,
to be that way.
Feeling Fat
Posted in Poetry, Self worth, tagged doubt, fat, feelings, God, God's love, poetry, self worth, value, worth on December 4, 2011| 2 Comments »
Ever have those days
when you are just
feeling fat?
Clothes don’t fit their best
The mirror isn’t being kind
Energy is low
And you start picking on yourself
It’s not really about fatness
because it happens to us at any shape or size
It’s about self-worth
Knowing that we have value
regardless of
ANYTHING
We have to break the cycle of negative self-talk
Stop listening to the lies
Stop getting sucked into the game
Reminder:
I have value
I have a beautiful soul
I am loved by God
I am cherished by God
He made me a perfect creation
I need to stay in touch with that love
share that love with others
focus on the things that are truly important
and get over myself
His Grace

Dear Heavenly Father
Thank you each day
For seeing my heart and bringing me joy
For knowing my fears and bringing me comfort
For always being with me
For loving me so dearly and seeing me as flawless
For wanting me to see myself as you do
Your Grace shines upon me
Your Glory shines through me
