4. Are you mad at yourself?
5. Are you in guilt and in self-condemnation?

This is ok if you cannot answer these questions. Depending where we came from, life can have played a bad deck of cards where we can't. I truly understand and don't force yoruself to do anything that is going to bring a lot of pain. Blessings, grace and lots of peace to you. No condemnation to you at all.

I just can't. Too many things inside me.Maybe another day.

1.) I don't know. I love my talents, though.
2.) Not necessarily, a lot of stuff could be changed
3.)(refer to #2)
4.) Sometimes
5.)Yes, a lot of guilt.
6.) I tend to blame others, yeah.
7.) Somewhat scatter-brained. Lots of fears. Unforgiveness. But I am a great artist, cartoonist and writer.
Fear financial matters,a little.

hmmm, its so hard to be totally honest... I try to convince myself that I am happy with who I am... dont get me wrong, I like a lot of the qualities I possess... but sometimes I get so sad about the things I cannot change.... I can only pray that God will help me through

We are so totally dependant on God's grace, His goodness, and the new beginnings He grants us every morning.

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1. Do you love yourself?[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] I do...I really do. Of course, there are times when I become so disappointed in myself, and during those times I have to return to what it is that makes me love myself so much...Jesus! I know it sounds like a cliche, but loving Jesus has helped me to love me more. I know that I'm always going to make mistakes and hurt people and many other things, but I also know that I am invaluable, important, and loved. Sometimes, when I'm being quirky or cracking jokes, I stop to think about how God reacts to me. I think He enjoys us...He laughs at us when we're funny and smiles when we are happy, just like we know He cares about our troubles. This has helped me to value those positive elements about myself that I know my friends, family, and God value in me.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2. Do you accept every thing about you as God created you? [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] I think I have, but I also think I have yet to hit a time in my life when my attitude of acceptance is truly tried...at least to a point where I could share with others. I have had to come to understand a lot of why God created me the way He did, but it's such a personal matter. It's not that I wouldn't want to share it, but it would really take far too long and I know no one is that interested. [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]3. Do you accept yourself right now? [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Yes, I do accept myself. I don't accept all of the things I do, but I will never be at a time in my life when things are perfect. Right now, I struggle with laziness and socializing with others, but I know that God is using my weaknesses to make me more like Jesus. That's really so important to me...my strengths are what can become the enemy, but it's my weaknesses that God can use to make me more like Him. The mere thought that God can turn something so negative in your life into something so useful gives acceptance.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]4. Are you mad at yourself? [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] It's easy for me to get angry at myself when I have trouble talking to people. It makes me livid that I freeze up in public and hide from crowds. I know that's not me, but it is what I have become...it's a weakness that can anger me. But, I'm coming to a point where I'm having to trust God with all of it...I'm having to go to Him to tell Him why it is I can't talk to people...what frightens me and why. I don't know if healing is the right word, but it's the closest thing I can think of...it's like I'm learning about healing in a very small way. [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]5. Are you in guilt and in self-condemnation? [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] I am not. I used to be, but I finally understood that grace is unmerited favor. I have God's unmerited favor...He favors me! Lol...how awesome is that?! If He can forgive me for my sin, sins that I commited over and over again, and look at the depths of my soul and still love me and cherish me, then it's not right for me to keep digging up those sins. Forgiveness doesn't mean that sin never happened or even that there aren't consequences, but it's so wicked to know that I'm still loved![/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]6. Do you harbor blame? [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] I don't. There's not much I have to say on this topic.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]7. List how you feel about yourself and LIST all the things you don’t like about yourself. For example: Are there are things about you that you cannot change? You say, it’s just the way I am. And if I’m to change, it will take a miracle from God. Can you accept those things right now? Are you hiding from God because of the way you are? How do you see yourself in God’s eyes? [/font]


What I like about myself:
~Generally positive attitude and outlook
~Not an anxious person
~Creative

What I Don't Like:
~My laziness
~Problems with socializing
~Stubborn


I know that God can help me in the areas I'm not pleased with. I feel like I'm constantly being led to change different areas of my life. If I had filled this out a year ago, I can promise you my answers would have been about very different topics. I think that God sees me on all levels...not just the bad. Sometimes I get locked into the idea that God is always mad at me...that He couldn't possibly ever be happy with me. But, then I realize that He loves me and made me. He's not just concerned with all of my faults, but I think He enjoys all the good parts of me too. I'm hoping He laughs at my goofiness and enjoys the creative things I do and make. I know I'm so important, and I hope I can help others discover that they matter just as much!

Sorry this was so long...they were really good questions!

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1. Do you love yourself? [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]- I'm still not sure yet. I know what people think I am, but I'm still not sure if that is who I am yet. I know God loves me though.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2. Do you accept every thing about you as God created you? - I'm still working on my too serious analitical nature, but I accept that God made me this way for a reason.
3. Do you accept yourself right now?
4. Are you mad at yourself?
- Yes, I'm very lazy and self absorbed. I realized being mad at this is self absorbtion. However I still think that I procratinate too much and don't have any capability to organize.
5. Are you in guilt and in self-condemnation?
- Surprisingly and contradictorily, no. I know that God gave me promise along with faults. So I know that while I'm utterly useless, I still have the potential for real wisdom.
6. Do you harbor blame?
- mmmm. I don't think so, I blame a lot on procrastination, but I tend to lob blame away from myself. I'm trying to correct that.
7. List how you feel about yourself and LIST all the things you don’t like about yourself. For example: Are there are things about you that you cannot change? You say, it’s just the way I am. And if I’m to change, it will take a miracle from God. Can you accept those things right now? Are you hiding from God because of the way you are? How do you see yourself in God’s eyes?
- A lot of the things I don't like about myself are mostly personality traits. I'm self-indulgent, spoiled, and I complain alot. I'm lazy and have a hard time commiting to projects. When I do commit I procrastinate and if I can't get it done in the amount of time I give myself I give up. [/font]
The only physical thing I would really change about myself is my wieght. I would like to be athletic, but I don't like athletics.
I would love for you all to give your answers as truthful as possible. I'm working on a paper!

1. Do you love yourself? Yes, I do love myself....finally! and am convicted everytime I hear the scripture referring to how can we love our neighbors as ourselves if we dont first love ourselves?
2. Do you accept every thing about you as God created you? Yes, especially since I turned 40 years old this year, I dont think there's no changing the way I am now, so I just settle in for the long haul.
3. Do you accept yourself right now? Yes
4. Are you mad at yourself? No
5. Are you in guilt and in self-condemnation? Not anylonger
6. Do you harbor blame? I would like to say no but the first thing that comes to mind is the way I was raised, only child, not really much guidance in life and left feeling like no one understands me.
7. List how you feel about yourself and LIST all the things you don’t like about yourself. For example: Are there things about you that you cannot change? You say, it’s just the way I am. And if I’m to change, it will take a miracle from God. Can you accept those things right now? Are you hiding from God because of the way you are? How do you see yourself in God’s eyes?

Things I dont like about me

I stay on the defensive, like I have to stand up for myself
Carrying around guilt for not being the best mom and wife and daughter
Feeling like no one understands me
Not very social

How I see myself in God's eyes

Loved
Accepted
Understood
Bold and Powerful
I know that He put love in my heart and wants me to share his love with others, to pray and incourage and lift up even in my times of weakness and self doubt.

Thanks for this questionere.....it gets one to thinking
