Be Who You Are

Don't you love it when you go to church and something you struggle with is preached about. Tonight Bro. Pixler taught on several things but the things he talked about that hit me the hardest was when he as talking about women being involved in our church. I was one of those that felt like I wasn't any use because I'm a lady. Our church focuses strongly on Men and Family, I am/have neither. So I feel lost in the middle. PLUS, I live in fear of rejection and I let my fears hold me back. He taught on all of that. I sat in SHOCK most of the time.

He spoke about how we have to be ourselves and not let others affect us in a way that keeps us from being true to ourselves. If you want to wear bright clothes don't let others comments affect us. What a positive thing to hear.

You have to learn to believe that God will bring you up to be everything He wants you to be you just have to believe in Him and yourself to do just that.

Was an awesome service. I too, appreciated all that was preached. It is so true that we go to church and instead of being transformed we all tend to conform to each other. All of it was good.

I know and it makes me so mad at myself that I conform to others. I was never like that growing up I was the one that was different. I think some is my weight because as my weight is coming off my old identity is showing up in small ways. My old friends are even commenting on the "old" Taniss starting to show up again. For what ever reason it's good to have her peeking in. LOL. That yellow outfit Pastor used as a example, yeah, he might have know me several years ago, I had a yellow outfit complete with purse AND spike heels. LOL. I had several black friends that told me to paint my skin because I was one of them. LOL. You sure can't tell now. LOL.
