Lies I Believe

  • Clothes will makes me happy.
  • There must be something wrong with me if people don't like me.
  • Growing older means I'll always be ugly.
  • God is far away.
  • My thighs are huge.
  • My husband needs to turn the light off in the bedroom every morning when he leaves for work so I don't have to get out of bed to fix it or I should assume he no longer loves me.
  • Reading the bible is annoying, and unnecessary for growing in God.
  • I'm a failure if I watch anime all day. Even if its only one day a month. 
  • Taking a break means I'm admitting defeat.
  • It's my husband's fault if he has to work late and I should let him know how much it annoys me.
  • I need more yarn.
  • My life will always be lacking if I never have children.
  • I'll never be good enough. Beautiful enough. I'll never have enough.
These lies have defined my life. Some for just a few months, some for years. Rather serious or trivial, all are wrong.

This season I plan on breaking these habits and moving beyond my selfish reasoning and me-me-me attitude. I hope that in 2014 I can become more like Christ. I hope in 2014 I can help others and find joy.
