Good Morning ladies! 

As I pondered on what the Lord would have me write about I heard him speak in that still small voice, and I said Nope! Not that Lord! I struggle with that … these ladies are smart, these other Sunshine writers are so talented, give me something profound!!!! 

He said nope! 

So ladies, as we end out the last days of February, the glorious month of love and hearts and chocolate … let’s take a moment to discuss the most difficult of loves… the one I struggle with most. 

Self love. 

We are mothers, wives, house keepers, full time job holders, aunts, daughters, and sisters. The list goes on and on, and we still feel unworthy. We will pick ourselves apart over a muffin top after birthing children. We will try on 15 different outfits and mumble things like I am so fat or I look disgusting . 

The Bible instructs us to love our neighbor as ourselves, but how can we love our neighbor if we don’t love our self? I do not mean the massages, spa treatments, pedicures and nails done (although these are important too). I mean that deep in your gut belief system about who you are! How special you  are! How worthy you are! You are a daughter of the KING! 

I am still learning this lesson as I watch my teenage daughters pick themselves apart in ways they have heard their mama do when I didn’t realize they were listening to my self talk. Your self talk today is important. I encourage you to say 1 Godly affirmation in the mirror each day this week. 

I am loved. 

I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Thank you God for this body that gave life. 

You ladies are a powerhouse. Energizer bunnies that keep going and going! Remember to rest in him. The Father and creator of life created you. He has a purpose and a plans. 

Love God, love yourself, love others ❤️
