Watched Joel Osteen

Well, Eric just went to sleep after we finished watching The Goonies. It was my first time seeing it. And this Joel Osteen dude came on next, it was a ministry, the kind of stuff I usually immediately change from. I started to sort of pay attention to him & it felt like he was speaking to me. He was preaching about running your own race. Talking about how a race car & an suv are both vehicles, but they can't compete with each other. Meaning...a race car is very cool out on the track or even to look at, but you can't take your kids to school in an suv and you can't race an SUV on the track and expect to win... Everyone has their own life and purpose. No one can be a better you than you. So basically what he is saying is that you have to accept you for what you are and what you are meant to be. You should not try to compete with anyone else and you have no one to impress, but yourself. He even said that once he saw a woman who usually wouldn't stand out, she wasn't beautiful, but she was so CONFIDENT and happy with who she was that she had it going. If you are a size 14, be the best size 14 you ever could be. Accept who you are and love who you are! Everyone has always told me to love myself and I have to accept myself, but this Joel guy...he really spoke to me. I even prayed to God to be my lord and savior. When we move, I'm going to start going to church on Sundays if I can. I'm going to accept myself for who I am and stop trying to be someone else, stop trying to compare myself to everyone else, because I'm NOT everyone else.
