I think that I now fall somewhere in the middle. I have spent the majority of my life with a very bad case of Low Self Esteem and in the past have gotten my feelings hurt very easily. I wanted everyone to like me and I think I took criticism as a vote against that. I have grown a lot in the past few years and I'm so much better. I like most people and hope they will like me, but I know everyone won't and that's okay. I can't say that criticism doesn't or won't ever hurt my feelings. Some people aren't very nice about it. From others though, I can now accept that it is meant to help and not to hurt. How can we make changes for the better if we are unaware of what needs to change.
I still would not include me in a group of people with soaring self esteem, but I have learned that I have worth. I am totally loved and treasured by my heavenly Father and His opinion is the one most important to me. In finding my rightful place in Him, I have found the strength to step forward and do things that the old Tonna would not, could not, do. Now as I rest in the knowledge of how loved I am, I am able to trust Him and His plans for me. I still have struggles, but Boy, Is it different now!
So, how are you liking my blog?----Be brutally honest. (giggle)
