Thoughts on Worth.
Sweater: Target, Pants: Target, Shoes: Urban Original, Purse: Steve Madden
This is another one of those posts I debated on whether or not I should share, but for lack of anything else remotely interesting to write I thought I'd just go for it : ) You guys have been so awesome to me and are truly one of my biggest support groups! I never thought I'd make such good friends when I started this blog...
Anyway, I always hesitate to share things like this for fear of appearing needy for attention. And that is one thing I am not! I hate when people notice me! I mean, it's flattering when they do but I always get super awky and red lol.
Ok so on with it! I'm just going to come out and say that I've been insecure lately. It's odd. There are probably a few contributing factors going on here (hello post-baby body!) and although I've pin-pointed about eight probable reasons as to why I'm feeling like I suck in every possible way (dramatic much?!) most/all of them are beyond my control. And I'm kind of in need of control (aka a control freak).
Yesterday's church sermon (given by my sweet hubby) spoke to me on so many levels. He pointed out that our generation is a "celebrity" generation meaning that we worship popularity and beauty and recognition above all. We worship this idea so much that we've all begun to "clean up" the way we appear to others so that they may esteem us creative, attractive, inspiring, wealthy, famous... But when we find someone that has more friends/followers/likes/etc. we instantly feel inadequate. And although my insecurities are not based around social media related things, that analogy helped me realize that no matter how hard I chase after perfection (in the beauty, wife, parenting realm) I will always think I'm coming up short. Because there will always be someone else that appears to be doing a better job. I think the point is to find my worth in the One that created me, knows me, and still loves me-- so much greater than finding my worth in my reflection or my husband or my son!
Thanks for reading.
