What I like about Me {Spring Forward Blog Challenge Day 1}

I like that I try to be a good friend to my friends. :) I am not the "perfect" friend, but I am genuine and care deeply about the friends and family God has put in my life. I believe people that know me feel comfortable enough to be themselves around me which in turn makes me feel free to be myself as well.

I like that I can be happy doing just about anything and truly enjoy the moment. I don't often find myself bored for more than a few minutes. If it does happen its because I am being lazy and don't feel like doing anything to entertain myself. I can keep myself good company and love a good balance between being social and having some quiet time. I am for the most part a contented person when it comes to accepting the circumstances that I cannot change. I do the best with what I have and know that what I have ultimately belongs to God.

I like that I am open minded. I think that I am pretty good at seeing things from other people's perspective and while I might not necessarily agree with them, I usually take some time to put myself in their position and try to see how they might see it. Not to say that I don't have strong convictions, I do, but I guess what I am trying to say is that I am understanding and compassionate for the most part and I like that about myself.

Physically, I would have to say I like my uniqueness. I have chubby cheeks, long nose with a bump, and a sticky out bottom lip with hardly an upper lip to match not to mention my crazy un-kept hair (that one could be helped I realize). I know God made me this way and so I have come to embrace this look as my own.

As I close this post I feel a bit awkward about saying all these things that I like about myself,but then I am reminded of a poster when I was in Kindergarten that said, "I'm not junk, because God doesn't make junk". I know who I am in Christ and because of that I can love myself because I am loved my an Awesome God!
