Confidence

Its funny how fast you can work when your manager says you can leave early right after you finish closing a room. I swear, I ran my tail off to get out of there around nine today. I really don't mind closing though, since its a lot of organizing and cleaning and such, which is right up my alley.

So Yay! I made it today! Barely, but who's really counting anyway. I'm really not entirely sure if anyone has been reading this anyway, but its worth it, if only to keep myself accountable.

Today's topic; Confidence.

As a woman, I've dealt with the issue of confidence nearly my entire life. More specifically, the lack of confidence. It has manifested so many different areas of my life; my appearance, weight, talents, intellect, nearly everything. And as I read today, I realized that I was also lacking confidence in another area of life, My relationship with God.

Confidence is born out of faith, and faith is what I tend to lack a majority of the time.

Day 3: Confidence

Psalms 27, 36, 71, 125

Verses that stood out to me:

Psalm 27:1 - "The Lord is my light and m salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?"

To begin, I love, love, love this passage. This may be one of my favorite Psalms. This verse is like a declaration of confidence in God. It gives me goosebumps.

Psalm 71:5 - "For you have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth."

We can have confidence in God, because He is constant, unchanging.

Tomorrow is my day off, so I promise to post at a normal hour =)
