Self-worth

I'm literally on the phone with Sams as she recites her nursing thing. Yea, "thing" cuz I don't know what it's called.. It's funny cuz the name she's using for the patient is Mr. Orange......I love my best friend. Ok, enough of her, now back to my blog titled "Self-worth"...

As Pastor Reuel gave his message last Sunday, he came across one point that really stood out to me: our self worth.

Now a days, everyone is trying to excel in either school, work, family or whatever it may be (depending on what stage they are in their life). As human as we are, we continue to work from one thing to another, expecting great results after putting such high standards for ourselves...

I graduated from Heald with flying colors and expected God to bless me with a great, high-paying job afterwards. I knew I wanted to go back to school but that was later on down the road, after I would have saved up from working. During the first month of being unemployed, I felt like a failure. I felt like I've accomplished school but I wasn't able to excercise what I learned. The following month I was blessed with a job and I have been working there since...To make a long story short, I am now in school and being the striving student that I was at Heald, I expect myself to go through Solano with flying colors as well, but no, the opposite has occured.

The reason I share my testimony with you is because I was blinded by thinking my self-worth came from my accomplishments or what I wanted to accomplish in the near future. I became conformed into the patterns of this world and I let the world define who I am by my accomplishments.

Before anything that has been done, is being done, or will be done, I am first and foremost a child of God. My grades don't make me, my future job won't, and neither will my future desires...

However, I do know that My self-worth is found in Christ. =)
