You've come a long way!

Ruth 2:17 
So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. And when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley. So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah.

I often feel as though I am behind. I should be further ahead than I am. I don't know enough. I'm not good enough. The story goes as long as I will allow it. The answer to silent that conversation, "Stop it!" You and I control the narrative in our head. No one makes us think anything. Our thoughts are our choice. So, what if we have a long way to go? We choose to look at how far we've come. If we made it this far, well then--we can make it all the way. 

Our goal is to make the best of the journey that we have ahead of us. I encourage you to journal your journey. Write down what your big "Ah Ha" moment that was in the middle of all you've come through. See, what your learning now, is for your teaching later. What your learning now, is for your connecting the pieces later. If you lose a piece of the puzzle now, it's hard to see the bigger picture. Too often we run ahead to the next level, dropping what we gleaned from the corners. When we were in our poor and pitiful state we thought what we had was not enough, only to find we need those pieces now. Our IQ went up because we learned something, but our EQ is still that of the wounded and neglected child. So, instead of acting like the beautiful, intelligent, confident, woman we are, we act like we think we are. That may be a poor pitiful woman or a proud imposter. Either way we have grow to be the original God created us to be, in order to fulfill the purposes for which we were created.

Glean the field your in and who knows? One day you may own that field.

ACTION STEP: Keep going. Go ahead and look back just to see how far you've come. Just don't turn around and go back. There are people waiting for you in your future. People are counting on you. Yes, I know you don't know that--yet, but you will. Believing in yourself when no one ever did is hard. Believing in yourself is tough when you've grown up with CEN (childhood emotional neglect). If you grew up with the adults in your life neglecting your emotions, then you learn to neglect your own emotions. Connect with yourself and then you will start connecting with others.
