Comparisons

The message at DR last night really spoke to my heart. Especially the part about comparisons. I compare myself to others far too often. Maybe this is a girl thing but my guess is that it transcends gender. At least twice a day I wish that I looked or acted differently, more secure, thin, pretty, and smart. This is not healthy for me. By doing it I am putting too much worth in worldly things. My ultimate goal is to be what God wants me to be and looking at others is not the way to figure that out. Instead I should be thankful for all the gifts God has given me (like toes) ;o) ....and realize that he designed me just the way I am for a reason.
Plan: Whenever I want to compare myself to someone, instead I will stop and thank God for my blessings and ask that he show me how I can center them around his will for my life.
There is so much that I could write about today, but I feel like I should keep it to myself for now. Let me just say that God is amazing and has put some wonderful people in my life. I am so thankful for the friends and support that he provides.
