Self-image/Self-esteem | Notes (week 11)

Note to Readers:

This post is a list of notes in direct response to homework from a Bible Study called Conquerors. Because of that, it may be a little hard to follow if you weren’t in the class. Week 11 covers the subject to of self-image and self-esteem. I have posted the notes here for several reasons. 

• The first is that it is easier to share in this format. 
• Second, I think that I will reference it (and make changes to it) many more times in my future.
• Third, I think that someone else could find something useful in it. 
• Fourth, I started this blog last year. It was truly the beginning of me digging into myself and my faith. I took a lot of steps in previous years that helped me build up to it. However, throughout these notes, I will have many references to this blog where I feel like God was dealing with me about this subject LAST YEAR.  Because there were so many references, it also seemed to me, like these notes belonged with all of the other posts.

I too, struggle with my own self-image. While I have started accepting and forgiving myself; I still tell myself that I am not qualified or that I don’t have enough experience to help others. This list of notes is long but I DO have experience here. I pray that the following is received more as a testimony instead of a list of rules or a list of “do as I do”.  Like you, I am still a work in progress

The changes to my self-image and self-esteem have been bi-products of the changes that I have made in my relationship with God. He has given me the confidence, strength and trust to take responsibility for myself and my actions.
