What do you need to Embrace? Finding Peace Within Journey

Sometimes there are things about our character that we've ignored and or do not want to face. Somethings may be ugly and somethings may be not so ugly. :). In The Finding Peace Within Prayer Journal, I ask this question; What do you need to embrace about yourself? I thought long and hard about this question and I told myself the truth. Here is what I need to embrace.

1. My husband cannot fulfill the empty spots in my life, only I can do that.

2. My husband cannot give me everything I need, only God can.

3. I had to stop expecting things from people that they do not have the capacity to give me. Accept people for who they are and what they have to give.

4. I embrace the fact that I am totally and undeniably responsible for what I do and how I react and respond to the things in my life. I cannot blame people for the way I respond and or act.

5. I embrace the fact that I did the best I could in raising my son with the information I had at the time as a teenage parent. Today, I am grateful for the young man he has turned out to be.

6. I embrace the fact that I've had 2 failed marriage, which is why I am better wife today.

7. I embrace my big butt, my big thighs, and my big legs. They aren't going anywhere... no matter how much weight I lose. :). I'm okay with that now.

I could go on and on and on with the things I've learned to embrace in my life. Learning to embrace those things have helped me to be a much happier person, one who knows who, what and where I am and what I'm doing and where I'm going. Embracing those things in my life has helped me to continue to wear a smile on my face everyday.....

Let's work on ourselves through this journey of embracing those things about ourselves that we need to embrace.
