What's popping chicken and non-chicken eaters?!
I knowwwwww I haven't posted the last in the previous serious - but I will do sometime next week as I thought this was more important and I wanted to post this instead....
So.... At my church we are doing a series of events called "somebody believed in me so why should I not believe in you?" The event started last week and every week on Sunday at 10am and each week we are learning something new to take action towards believing in ourselves.
Now last week I came to the event thinking this is for the new people, let me just make sure that I bring at least one person. So I set off inviting my colleagues at work and in the end I had three confirmed and I was happy!
However none of them came (for various reasons which I found out on Monday) but what happened was the one person that needed it the most - me - got the message.
Imagine here I am thinking I believe in myself - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me but I couldn't do the homework which was given to us by the pastor. He gave us a piece of paper with ten lines and we had to write 10 qualities that we currently possess.
And do you know what? I couldn't find ANY qualities in myself. I mean for dayssssss I was thinking and I didn't see any good qualities in myself.
Now let's pause and see what's going on here.... Here I am claiming to believe in myself but I cannot find at lease ONE quality I hold?
No way - there is a problem here. I mean I was stuck - only negative qualities came up. Let me be real over the past year and a half I have been on a very rocky path (hence my blog's inconsistency) and I had no idea how much it effected me until this week.
But on Thursday it was as if God gave me an electric shock type push and I sat down and I really thought about the qualities I possess. And in the end I came up with waaaay more than 10 (obviously I could not write it down on the paper - I was told put down 10 - better to obedient).
So I am going to list these 10 qualities I hold and starting Monday I will give ten days where I will be explaining why these are the 10 qualities I hold.
Here is my list (here's a challenge for you - why not write down a list of 10 of you qualities? You might not go to the church or anything like that but in something so small I saw how negative I was being towards myself....maybe you are doing this as well)
1. I am creative
2. I am hard working
3. I am trustworthy
4. I am quick at picking up things - fast learner
5. I am confident
6. I am BOLD
7. I am organised
8. I am generous
9. I pay attention to detail
10. I am ambitious
If you want you share your list with me you can...
If you want to take part in the "someone believed in me" series come along either to 176 Rye Lane, Peckham SE15 4NFr visit uckg.org for the address of your local branch!
I believe that I can change because God believed in me and so did so many people from the Universal Church and I know without their help I would not be here today.
Love and hugs!
