I last posted 5 things I wanted to learn in 2011. Well guess what?! I learned HOW to do #5. I learned how NOT to be afraid to try new things. It is all about babysteps! (THANK YOU "A" for introducing me to this amazing concept!) I started with a babystep today. I went to the gym. I know, crazy that I would be afraid to go to the gym...but I have been. Don't ask me to explain it, because I can't. The point is, I was afraid, and last night I decided that I was sick of Satan whispering in my ear (Again, a big thanks to "A", for helping me to realize that it is Satan, not my other personality) that I couldn't do it. That I wasn't strong enough, and that it was too scary. So, I made the commitment, and I stuck to it..Guess what? The gym..Not so scary. Satan was wrong. I could do it. I did do it. And I L.O.V.E.D. it! Goin' back first thing Monday morning, and am excited about it! Going to start Zumba as soon as funds permit me to pay a babysitter twice a week!
We just have to pray, ask Heavenly Father to help us overcome that voice. (I am going to be praying A LOT more, because Satan seems to know that I am much more easily conviced that I can't do something than I am that I can.)
I am hoping that with prayer and BABYSTEPS, I can start letting go of this inadequacy thing I have. That I am unable to do things. That I am not good enough, smart enough, whatever. Cause, I am a child of God...And that alone shows that I am good enough!
(I just needed to end with a really huge "THANK YOU" to "A", she always says that her gift is to see the "invisible" people. I think that it is more. I think she sees potential for greatness in everybody, and she is great at helping them realize that it is there, if we listen to the right "voice" and ignore the wrong "one"! Thank you for being my friend! I think you are amazing!!)
