Here's to fresh starts
Once again, I find myself reminding myself that my completeness doesn't come from what people think of me--it comes from my Father, my Savior, my friend. Go away, Satan, and stop trying to make me believe that my worth is summed up in how others perceive me or treat me! Take that!

Amen to this post! You're singing my anthem, girl. So much of the time, I worry about how I'm perceived by others. When really, all that matters is the opinion of The One. Why do we do this to ourselves? Let's not let Satan get a foothold. God bless you!
I know I'm a few days late with this but I echo what you and Jennifer have said. And be reminded of this: that God created man and woman in his image - AND IT WAS GOOD!
We all struggle with this Miriam; I'm just sorry if someone said or did something to hurt you. That's not okay...
When I turned 40, I realized it didn't matter what others thought, just God. When people say, 'Oh, we were just talking about you.' I respond, 'I am sure you have better things to talk about and better ways to spend your time than talking about me.' They are speechless and usually have no comeback. I am who I am, sometimes a better person than others. But worrying about what others think is really a waste of my time because it is exactly that-worry. If they are judging or not, I have no control over it unless they approach me or I over hear them. However, I can control my emotions and continue to act myself regardless of what others think. Besides, most of the time, what I think they may be thinking probably isn't right anyway.
