And so I think little by little, I fell for this idea that if I cannot live up to someone else's definition of worth,
a woman, someone else's definition of a believer, someone else's definition, then I have to discredit, I have to discount who I am.
And the only problem with that is when you begin to see yourself as less valuable, you also accept things that you would not otherwise accept if you felt like you had value.
If I were smart enough, if I were thin enough, if I were beautiful enough, then maybe I wouldn't have to do this.
But since I don't have these things, I have to accept that.
And that is a lie.
Your value is not set by these experiences you have gone through.
They are not set by society standard.
I don't care what they call beautiful.
I don't care what they call powerful.
Your value is an inside job.
It is a commitment that says, you know what?
The truth of who I am, my ability to survive all that I've gone through, the way that I have seen the world has added to my value, not decreased it.
And that is some big, bad, bold belief that not many of us are able to tap into.
But if we can just try by faith to say, you know what, what if that didn't change anything?
I work with women quite a bit.
And while my issue was teen pregnancy and having to recover from that, I know enough about what women have gone through.
to know that whether their parents went divorced, they got divorced, molestation, like they have all of these experiences that they think in some way has made them different than the person they're sitting next to.
And because I am not as valuable, then I have to do things that they don't have to do.
What I have learned is that everyone has had some type of experience that has challenged them in their belief of their value.
