Believe in yourself
In which areas of your life do you have
faith in your abilities? In which areas do you struggle?
I love making art. I don't always feel
confident about it, but I enjoy the adventure, love to learn and am bold in
trying. And I love to share in the "aha" moment when someone else
makes something beyond what they thought possible.
An area of challenge for me has been making
the transition from the classroom (where I taught for 10 years) to the virtual
communication and continual change of the web.
So now, my new challenge is mixing my
strengths with the struggle with upcoming online classes etc. Two things that
are super helpful is just doing the next good, hard thing, and finding the
right people to help. I am truly grateful for the people in my life who have
been so supportive!
Beliefs
Everyone believes in something. What do you
believe in? What do you put your confidence in?
I
believe in love that can change the world, that God loves you and God loves me;
that life works best when we love each other. I believe gratitude makes a
difference, and even the smallest kindness can make a big impact for good. I
believe we are each made unique and creative, and have something worthwhile to
contribute.
I
believe The Creator, Triune God, is alive and present. He desires to speak to
me personally, seeking relationship with me. I believe I can learn to live in
constant awareness of God’s presence, and by His grace, He will help me to grow
to become more like Jesus, walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, becoming
who I am made to be.
