The One

There was a point in time when my confidence was really low. I may have looked pulled together on the outside but I was constantly scoring myself against the other women in the room - how they looked, what they said, how they carried themselves...and I never measured up.

So, I prayed for confidence.

Initially, I didn't know how else to get it - but over time I learned that accepting myself and loving myself the way God made me, helped my confidence to grow.

Now, I affirm myself everyday. I don't wait for someone to tell me I'm beautiful, I tell myself.

I also take care of myself - I eat right, exercise and try (really hard) to lead a good life.

When people talk about The One, they're usually talking about finding (or being found by) that special person they'll spend their lives with. But in this case, I want you to shift your idea of who The One is from a significant other to You!

You're The One! You are The One you've been waiting for! You're The One who can change everything in your life! You can decide to be (and pray for) more confidence, you can choose to take risks - to learn, to grow - it's all on you! And guess what? You don't have to do it alone!

You have Someone who is ready, willing, and actively trying to lead and guide you.

So, before you look outside of yourself for love and validation, look inward and then, most importantly, look up! Not only are you The One, God is THE ONE!

Abide in Him and He'll comfort you. He'll make you brand new! He'll bring you the desires of your heart.

God can (and will) change EVERYTHING if you let Him. He can make you a better YOU! Let God transform you. If He did it for me, He'll do it for you too!

Happy Waiting!
