When I see
myself, I see my failures and shortcomings. I see that I am a woman who
has had circumstances shape who she is and not what she is. I have let my
past dictate me. Not anymore! Lysa Terkeurst says in her book
Made to Crave that God defines us not who we are and where we come from. I so like that and look forward to learning
more about myself when it comes to how God sees me.
