Let’s dive in.

No wait.

Maybe I shouldn't just get started.  I should probably grab your attention better. 

Ugh.  I’m no good at this.

I’m no good at any of this.

This never comes easy for me.  I should just give up.

I could always go back to nursing.

Maybe I’m better suited for that.  But, I’m not really that good at being a nurse either.  It’s just all a struggle for me.  I’m probably not destined to be good at anything.  I’m just here… taking up air.

And that is what goes through my brain when I don’t manage my thoughts.  When I choose to run with the enemy’s lies instead of choosing the Spirit’s.

When I walk down this road, I deteriorate any self-confidence I have been building.  I stop following through on my commitments and I start to hide or avoid the outside world.

I start proving the enemy’s lies true... that I'm just here, taking up air.
