I’ve been thinking
about this topic for a while now but it wasn’t until I shared it with a friend
and she said I should blog about it did I actually become inspired enough to
share…
I love Pinterest,
Facebook, and reading blogs to see what other people are doing. It’s great to
be exposed to so many ideas that I’ve never seen before. However, it can also
be overwhelming to realize that there are so many things that I don’t know how
to do. This can make me feel inadequate in life, especially being a new mom. But
I’ve realized it’s good to recognize your gifts, passions, and talents and be
happy with what God has given you.
I’ve come to terms
with the fact that I’m not a fantastic cook. I can cook but I don’t have that
strong passion to make these extraordinary meals. I cook simply and I cook
healthily. (I think I will share some simple, healthy meals that I make in one
of my future posts.) I’ve also come to terms with the fact that I’m not a
seamstress. I’ll be honest, I can’t really even sew a button. I really admire
people that can cook and sew and are really crafty. But, I’m not going to
compare myself to other people and I’m not going to be envious of other
people’s gifts.
God made me the
way I am for a reason. I know He gifted me to love children and to work with
children. I know that He gifted with me to love fitness, working out and taking
care of my body. I also know He created me to share my gifts and passions with
others. He also made me an encourager. I love to help people and encourage them.
What are your God
given gifts and abilities? He made you perfectly just the way He wanted you to
be.
“Do what God has
anointed you to do. God designs us and puts gifts in us. He designed you to
operate in your gift. Embrace the gift God has given you. Don’t throw it away.
You will have peace and joy when you operate in your gifts.” –Joyce Meyer
Friends, God has a
purpose and a plan for your life!
