I appreciate your honesty here, Lisa. I fall into the same trap at times, and we both need lots of grace to rejoice in who God made us to be.

My life coach says “If you’re gonna tell the story make yourself the star”. That’s her way of reminding us not to villainize everything we do. We do have the power to rewrite our story including the grace of God and the Romans 8:28 to it all.

Dear Lisa, I love the way you use the Enneagram to find inspiration and break through barriers. Like an engineer might say: the proof of a tool is in what you can build with it.

I’m sorry you went through a dark time this bleak midwinter, and glad you found a way out, back into the light.

Happy New Year, dear Lisa!

Lisa, never doubt your worth.

You are loved by God, your family and the blogiverse that we share.

AND REMEMBER….

God doesn’t make junk!

We definitely need to pay attention to the stories we tell ourselves. They can have such an impact for good or for bad. Thanks for sharing Trudy’s encouraging post – I loved it too! Hope you have a happy New Year!

wow that book really impacted you. I felt all year the same: I am talking to myself with lies. Untrue narratives. One Question I ask more frequently now is IS THAT TRUE? Usually it isn’t. Hard to learn though. May we both know more deeply that we are children of God!

I’m easily prone to subscribing to a negative story of myself, too, Lisa. Thank you for reminding me to be in “God’s story,” not my own. Love and blessings of subscribing to God’s story and of many answered longings and prayers!
P.S. Thank you again for linking to me.

Seeing ourselves and our stories through our own lenses instead of God’s truth, can sure distort our images! May 2022 and beyond be full of God-lens moments for you, Lisa. I distort the image of myself too, mostly through my undone lists. As a seven, I have so many interests, I can get scattered and then feel like a failure! The ennegram has helped me feel free from judgement of self!

I love the whole idea of reimagining our stories. Or re-titling them. Or whatever we need to do so that we see ourselves as Christ does.

God is keeping you on my heart every day friend.
