Finding the Key...

People always talk about the elusive key...
the key that opens the chest of success...
success in Christ...
success in work....
sucess in building and finding a strong, healthy relationship...
Wanna know what key im speaking about?
Well... that would be the key of Confidence..
Confidence....is key.

Confidence...a hard word to swallow for me.
Confidence...an unfortunate battle in my life.

the word confidence ironically makes me feel even more un-confident. People and atricles tell me to be more confident, BE MORE CONFIDENT... Pressure...So i say " Okay, Okay I'll be more confident..."

Then I think....

"but where to begin...."
"how do I get there...."

"they" merely state...
BE MORE CONFIDENT.

SO... im going the route I always go when I am lost over something...

Prayer.

Why not turn to the one who created me, the one who knows my worth far better then I do. The one who loves me even with all my flaws and see's every potential I have. He seems like the perfect one to go to for help with building my confidence.

I have to remember that while some confidence is gained by personal beauty, that not all confidence is... A lot is built on actions, accomplishments, and the understanding that you are a child of God, and while, YES, there have been some hurtful things said and done to me in my life, that we overcome those feelings through Christ.

The kids that hurt me in my youth.
Dont Matter.
The men that hurt me in my past relationships. DONT MATTER.

I want to live in Confidence, I want to know what it feels like.

So while confidence is feeling somewhat elusive to me at this point....
It wont be for long.
It will be part of me.
It will belong to me.

I will have the key...

Then help others find it.
