More Nuggets from Hearts at Home: Connie Johnson

Who are you?
You are not random.
You are the perfect person for this time in your environment
You are the perfect mom for your kids.
You are much more than pretty-you are wonderfully made
You are much more likeable
You are deeply loved
You are much more than okay-you are the daughter of the King
You are God's child

Are you fearful of losing something?
Do you have scars left by someone or something?
Most of what we fear never happens.  Most of our fears are fueled by our imagination.  We make it up as we go along.

3 ways to lose fear and gain confidence:

1) Change how you react to fear.
     -What triggers your fears?
     -How do you react to those fears? (figure out what triggers your bad reactions and then choose different reactions to replace it.)

JEALOUSY
-Do you fear of not measuring up?
-Do you react as a "Here I am" person?  If so, change to a "There you are" person.  Most popular people turn the focus on others (becasue people like to talk about themselves or their interests).
-Do you fear you will never have what "she" has?
-Do you fear being left out?
-Do you react by distancing self
-Do you react with a mean remark?
Change your way of thinking.  Everyone has something wonderful to offer. We are made to work together.

I think that is enough for today's post.  I will continue with the "parenting" points later.

Have a Blessed weekend!!
