The Pity Party!

Okay so I know some of you have been wondering where I've been. Well the truth is, I was throwing myself a pity party, I mean it was huge, with lights, decorations and food, the works! And I finally realized that no one was coming to this pity party but me. So I began to take down the streamers and balloons, I even unplug the twinkle lights. The one thing I didn't do was cancel the food, hey girls got to eat! In all seriousness, I did the one thing I told myself I wasn't going to do this year...and that's let what others think of me affect me. It's always easier said than done right? "It doesn't matter what others think of you or if they like you or what you do. Don't let what other people say determine what you do or don't do!" Wow that seems so easy, I can see it now, with some kind of inspirational themed music in the background to get you going. You standing straight up out of your seat, headed for the door, ready to take on whatever challenge comes your way, only to turn back around, sit down and realize the world is a lot bigger than you imagined and the people are a lot meaner than you expected. Why is it that I care so much what others think of me or why it surprises me that people are this way? Because I'm human, but you know what, who cares! As long as I'm pleasing God is all that matters and THAT is what I'm going to continue to strive for whether I'm at work or using my talents for something else. Whatever I do, big or small, will be for the glory of God!
