I was reading Britney's blog today and one of her posts stood out to me a lot so im going to copy her :)
“I testify that no one of us is less treasured or cherished of God than another. I testify that He loves each of us—insecurities, anxieties, self-image, and all. He doesn’t measure our talents or our looks; … He cheers on every runner, calling out that the race is against sin, not against each other.” Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
So here's what I(she) decided: we are all going to participate in a little exercise today. I'll start, you'll follow.First, we are going to name 3 physical traits that we actually like about ourselves. Then, we are going to name 3 talents we have. Next, we'll state 3 accomplishments we are proud of. After that, we will name 3 personality traits or qualities of ours we are glad we have. And last, we will name 3 people that we know love us unconditionally -- faults, insecurities and all.
Here goes:
Physical Traits
1. My button nose
2. My eyes
3. My smile
Talents
1. Cooking
2. Crafts
3. Softball
Accomplishments
1. Living on my own in another state
2. Getting my license in hair
3. Being independent
Personality Traits/Qualities
1. Forgiving heart
2. Patience
3. Strong testimony
People that Love Me
1. My Heavenly Father/Jesus Christ
2. My parents
3. My sisters
Im not having some identity crises Im just grateful for who I am and I think we all should be grateful for who we are. Heavenly Father made us and he doesn't make mistakes.
So lets all celebrate our uniqueness and embrace our attributes and faults.
Happy Monday :)
