My first ever blog!

So today I’m writing my first ever blog! It looks like me, a writer at heart, would have jumped on this so much earlier. Now I have an outlet to vent all of my random thoughts! (You should all be scared!) I should be in bed, since I get up at the early hour of 4:45 a.m., but instead I’m searching the channels for a little Law and Order: SVU. My friend Janice thinks it’s strange, but that show helps me go to sleep. I think it’s because I’ve seen so many of the episodes, I already know what’s going to happen and it doesn’t stress me out!

Tomorrow I have to lead a devotion at the meeting we’re having for a new resource at work. I’m going to speak about our contorted view of self worth–that we’re worthless and broken and don’t deserve anything good. When it all boils down to it, we are worth something. We were worth so much to God that He gave Himself for us. We’re worth so much to Him that He won’t let go of us. He’s the Father, and we are simply His children, the ones he longs to draw into His lap, wrap His arms around and wrap us in His love every hour of every day. He loves us, and He gives us worth. So don’t buy into the myth that you’re worthless; you’re not!
