So Tired...

All of the hallway and dining room and about 97% of the living room painting is done. Thank you Jennie for the help! I decided against moving the boys 2 dressers right now. Maybe I'll paint that area next week. The kitchen still needs done but the electrician was a no show yesterday. Today is errand day then I need to do my nails, then TC, choir, and Bible study. Although I think I may have the youth group tonight...

Now Pastor Hersch:

‘Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.’ Genesis 1:31 Before you were born - God saw you. He knew the specific purpose you were designed to fulfil, so He provided the gifts you'd need and the environment required to put it all together. Then He looked at you and said, 'Very good.' It's important that you can say that too, because others will only treat you according to how you treat yourself. If you don't like the way people respond to you, stop and ask yourself, 'What's the message I'm sending out?' For people to treat you well, you've got to send out a message that says, 'I'm somebody, because God made me somebody!' We're talking about an inner strength that makes you attractive when you walk into a room, and causes others to say, 'Who's that?' And they won't be asking because your appearance is stunning. No, they'll be asking because your character is magnetic and your presence has impact. This is not pride - it's just healthy self-esteem based on God's opinion of you. When you have it, it affects the way you talk to others, sit in a classroom, apply for a job and perform the ministry that God gave you. Line up your opinion with God's! Appreciate who He made you to be. Develop what He gave you. Stop wishing you were somebody else. If two of us are identical, one of us is unnecessary. You are a unique blend of gifts and character. You have a special destiny on this earth. You are somebody - remember that today and tomorrow ! Pastor Hersch
