S is for self-image

S is for self-image. The funny thing with this is that I was already working on the bottom page when the new word came through on the A to Z of Me challenge, so it's two for one today.

I find that now I am in my mid-forties I am much more confident in who I am. I am happy in my skin. I don't mind the white hairs and wrinkles - I've earned them! I am less concerned with what others think of me. I rely on what God thinks of me instead. When the day has been bad and I'm feeling down on myself, I can go to God and have my perspective put right. Yes, I'm a sinner and I fall down sometimes. But I'm also God's child and He loves me. He picks me up and dusts me off and sets me back on the right track. 

I'm not perfect yet, but I am in the process of being perfected.
