Welcome To My Diary
I don’t like who I am, so I’ve asked God to make me into who I’m becoming.
I’ve been in a season where I haven’t been tending to myself in the ways that I need to and therefore every other area of my life has suffered.
I’ve reached a point where I look in the mirror and I don’t recognize the person that I’ve become. Through all of my efforts to do I’ve forgotten how to just be……
I’ve forgotten the depths of my authenticity out of fear of lack of fulfillment, abandonment, and disappointment to myself and others. But that very avoidance has led me into the path I so desperately avoided.
So instead of trying to do in order to keep everything maintained I’ve traded in my actions for surrendering.
“God make me over.”
I’ve turned in my distractions for silence. For meditation. For prayer. For journaling.
All the things I’ve practiced, followed, and preached about but somewhere along the way I stopped practicing discipline in.
I’ve released my feelings of lack and my want to seek what I don’t have from outside spaces and replaced them with faith and surrendering, self reflection, forgiveness, accountability, and apology.
“God make me into who you birthed me to be.”
In today's fast-paced world, self-reflection is more important than ever. Many people struggle to maintain their sense of identity amid external pressures and societal expectations. This article delves into the significance of taking a step back, practicing mindfulness, and re-establishing a connection with oneself. The journey to self-discovery often requires acknowledging our fears and desires. It involves recognizing how distractions can lead us away from understanding our true selves. By incorporating techniques such as journaling, meditation, and prayer, individuals can uncover deeper layers of their authenticity and let go of negative beliefs about themselves. Moreover, we often forget that our thoughts shape our reality. Affirming positive beliefs about our worth and capabilities can empower us to overcome obstacles in our path. This narrative highlights the necessity of accountability, forgiveness, and self-love as pillars of personal growth. Embracing these practices not only enhances our relationship with ourselves but also positively impacts our interactions with others. As we embark on this journey of self-exploration, let us remember that it is a continuous process. Each day brings new opportunities to reflect and evolve, leading us closer to becoming who we were truly meant to be.
