I used to think that I was a bother to everyone around me. I felt like no one wanted to waste their time with me, and I didn't want to impose by taking too long with them.
Have you ever felt the same way?
This came from a number of unpleasant interactions. Some things were misunderstandings when I was a child, some were the rush of others busy lives, but I thought it meant I was a problem.
That is what became problematic. I wasn't a problem, but I never challenged the lie that I thought was true....until I did.
The truth, that I held on to a lie as if it were truth, impacted my narrative about myself. Once I realized the truths and challenged the lie, I got unstuck.
You too, can get unstuck.
I'm sure you may have parts of your life story that gave you the wrong impression, too, at times.
Listen to this week's podcast to hear 7 Steps for rewriting your story so you can get unstuck, too.
In this week's podcast, I talk about how I couldn't "fit" into a pair of designer jeans when I was 11 years old, and Jordache was all the rage. I was disappointed, of course, but there was no way I was going to get those slender jeans over my thighs and hips, even at 11! I just wasn't fitting into them. Or, could it be that they weren't fitting "me."
You see, we can look at it as if we don't fit, but the reality is that the circumstances, people, or clothing may not be fits for us!

You aren't made to fit in. You were created to do God's will.
Have you ever considered that you were made for more and something better than the thing that "everybody" seems to want in on?
Not everybody wants in on God, but everybody has a special place they "fit" into His plan, if they'll see through His eyes.
Your identity comes from Christ alone. Your identity does not come from the fact that you fit into jeans or not. You cannot believe a lie and live in the truth. Refuse the lies that steal your peace from your true identity in Christ.
Peace comes from knowing the Prince of Peace. Find your identity in Him.
You weren't created to settle for things, you were created to shine your unique beauty and gifts for Him. That's the best fit and always is stylish....unlike Jordache jeans which fade away.
