Another friend also commented and said that when times like this come up, I need to ask myself who's speaking to me, God or satan.

I definitely would have thought that putting myself out there would make it easier for me to compare myself with others (one of the reasons why I've had a hard time with my selfie project!) but it's cool to hear that it's done just the opposite for you. <br /><br /><br />I also love what you said about how having a baby and being a mom has changed you. I think that our culture (including me) puts a lot of worth and emphasis on how our body looks as opposed to what our body does. Recently, I've started trying to remind myself that I want to be healthy, no matter what it looks like because it will always look different on a different person!<br /><br /><br />And girl, thank you SO much for those words and for reminding me that I'm not alone.

When someone in the class (me) asked a question about what she should do with thoughts about her body, such as "I don't like my legs," Jess stopped her dead and said "Did God say there was anything wrong with your legs??"<br /><br />The next time you hear yourself critiquing what you don't like, ask yourself, "Did God say that about me??"

And I will say that I tho...Girl, you are NOT alone. And I will say that I thought my self confidence would improve once I got married... WRONG. Not to be discouraging at all but just to say that self worth is really only found in Jesus (preaching to myself here). Sometimes I think about how satan wants us to be down in the dumps about ourselves because it diminishes our power in the kingdom because we take our eyes off the King and start doubting our abilities and our purpose. Sometimes framing it this way and seeing satan for the devious schemer he is really helps motivate me because I think "You will NOT destroy the power I have through Christ in this kingdom" and "satan, you wish you could make me ineffective". I almost get competitive with it like showing satan what he DOESN'T have power over. praying for you friend and all of us women that struggle with the same things.Sarah @ Sometimesphotojenikhttp://www.sometimesphotojenik.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-5664331758564023992015-04-13T13:43:01.887-07:002015-04-13T13:43:01.887-07:00Amen sister.

They were talking about how the mind (what we think of ourselves) shapes the brain (how our brain actually crafts iself around these beliefs and can change to reflect them physically) It was both amazing and scary realising how we could literally be changing the way our body works, how electrical pulses map their way through matter simply by the thoughts we choose to entrain and enforce.<br /><br />It made me really appreciate positive self image in a brand new way.<br /><br />Anyway, sorry for the ramble, that's just what your post made me think of, here's to winning!Lizellehttp://sandalsandsunniesblogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
