30 Day Challenge: Day 17 (Something You're Proud Of)

I think that when looking introspectively one should find plenty of things to be proud of. I can certainly look back over the course of my life and point out accomplishments that I take great pride in: winning a NSF award at 17, making nearly anything I've tried out for, having a unique profile that makes people want to make positions for me. In anything I can take extreme pride in, there is one thing that stands out for me: Faith.

Now, for me, this faith is twofold. The obvious would be faith in God; I love Him mucho much and have a sincere trust in Him. If you know me, that kind of goes without saying....BUT one thing I'm not sure if people know is that I have faith in myself.

This isn't about personal deification, cause I'm far from that mode of thinking. I, honest to God and hand to heart, believe in myself. I am confident in my abilities, my talents and my giftings. I believe in the dreams that God has etched in my heart and the vision entrusted to me. This doesn't mean that I don't question; questioning is healthy and needed. What I don't believe in is self doubt. I am not equipped nor inclined to do everything, no one is. However, the things that I do feel called to do, I do and I do them well. I thank God for confidence in Him which lends to confidence in me. These confidences allow me to dream and dare to do things that don't seem to make sense to anyone else. This is what I am most proud of in my life.
