Embrace Your Face Friday

Since I've been blogging, I've noticed that I've been more focused on what I can't do,
rather than what I can do.

I know it's because I haven't been out in the "real" world for over four years now. When I say that I mean
I haven't had a job outside the home. But since I've started blogging, I've sort of re-entered the "real" world,
although it's the world wide web, so it's even still different than the "real" world. BLAH BLAH, you
get my point.
Since I started blogging I've discovered so many beautiful, creative, fun blogs. I have been very intimidated by these blogs because they are amazing. It's been so interesting and inspiring to meet new women, read about their stories, see their faith, and explore what they are up to. But it's also made me feel bad.
I have always had insecurities when it comes to thinking I'm not good enough at certain things, or 
I've had low self esteem, and have felt like I don't have much to offer. And have even felt like I don't measure up.I have been feeling like I've got nothing to offer compared to all the other bloggers. Let's face it, we all feel this way about something/s.
So for today's EMBRACE YOUR FACE, I'm embracing and I hope you will too--
all I CAN DO.
