Reflection

Today marks the end of my 2nd year of tertiary education...and the beginning of my one full month of holidays. Can't help but think about what I've achieved thus far with my life. Well, I'm not an above average student, even though I may sound otherwise. LOL. So now it seems as though my worth depends on what I've outwardly achieved. Bummer. I can't run from that fact either. It's a pretty exhilirating effort one has to put in to not measure one's worth through the eyes of the world.

I'm one of them. I get upset with myself when I start doing that. My worth is not in what I have achieved academically. I have only enough pocket money to spend every month and if you want to talk about power over others, I have none politically. But then again, who says I am not worthwhile, not beautiful, not an achiever, not anything? Noone can say that just because God said otherwise.

¹³ For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

¹⁶ your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

That was Psalm 139:13-16. That's to bless you and to remind us all that we are worth more than words and the world can describe.

just one life,
gracey
