Days like today bring me back to reality. They renew my faith in God. I was contacted by two people of which I haven’t seen or spoken to in a very long time. Each commented on how cute and wonderful my girls are. Yes I know and thank you! I am very blessed with two amazing girls. But what they say next is something that I have a hard time hearing. “You are doing an amazing job!” “You are an amazing Mom!”  “You’re inspiring!”

Why is it so hard to think you are amazing? Why do I struggle to think I can make a difference in someone’s life besides my own? I was recently told my ego is getting in the way of me living out my God given talent. 

I kept pondering this… how is my ego preventing it?  Gosh do I come across as having a bad ego? What ego? Oh no I am a horrible person. Do I come accross as unapproachable?  These are the thoughts I have had since The night I was told my ego is preventing me from sharing my god given talent. Then I looked up the definition of ego.  

e•go /ēgō/ noun. a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance. 

All along I was using the wrong definition of ego to help me move forward in my journey. I was concerned I was coming across as more important or above everyone. When in all actuality I am feeling I am below and not worthy. Get over it I tell myself now… you are worthy and through Christ I shall be important. Maybe not important to you… but most defiantly important to my family and myself!
