I decided to post 5 good things about myself and 5 things I want to change about myself.
The good I see in myself:
1) I love the Lord and want to do his will.
2) I have a husband whom I cherish and love dearly.
3) I believe I'm a good friend.
4) I try to love in times when it feels impossible.
5) I have compassion for those who are going through something tough. I try to relate to them and help them.
The things I would like to change:
1) I would like to be a more positive person. I actually shared that at Joy last night.
2) I would like to be more confident in my conversations with others.
3) I would like to get serious motivation to lose weight but to also get healthier!
4) I would like to fast and pray more. That is an area that I need to improve on!
5) I would like to stop letting what others say or do to me bother me. I sometimes dwell on things and let it get me down when it's pointless.
I wanted to post that just for myself to look over whenever I am having a hard time or whenever I need some encouragement. Sometimes we get down and forget who we are but we need to remind ourselves that there is something good about each and everyone of us!

Fear and Doubt
Last night our preacher had a really good sermon and preached mainly from the book of Deuteronomy. He talked about the song of Moses and songs being a praise to God. The message was awesome as well as the service!
A lady in our church sings some of the songs that she writes. Last night she sang a song and even though I have heard it quite a bit, it still touched me. Part of the words were "Doubts and fears that has me bound." I literally pictured myself walking with ropes hanging from me and the words doubt and fear wrote on the ends.
Doubt has always been a problem for me. I seem to doubt God in the smallest things at times. I just push myself and remember the goodness of the Lord. I think testimonies are so important among the saints of God because it builds up our faith and decreases our doubt!
When was ask something in his name, we should have confidence that he will do it. We have to have faith. Having doubt is not of God.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 1 Timothy 2:8
Last night at the alter, God delivered me from a lot of the doubt I have had recently. He opened my eyes and shown me a brighter way. He showed me that his love is still there regardless of my pain and selfishness. I am so thankful I am the child of the Almighty!
