Where do you find your worth?

What characteristics would you say describe you? What qualities would you like to attain?

One main characteristic-which I focused on in 2011 was to be hard working and I would say that I achieved that. I spent many a night working until the early morning. I was proud of my work. I enjoyed the thrill of staying up late/early and the buzz you get from drinking too much coffee. My heart raced faster, my motivation was high and my passion was beaming from my face, I had found what my heart loves.

Approaching 2012 I knew that I would need a lot self motivation (as told by previous hard working students). During the December holidays I had many a conversation with myself telling myself that no matter how little the work load, how unorganized, unhelpful the lecturers may be I WILL work my hardest and NEVER allow my passion to dry up like a piece of toast. I told myself that I would let NO ONE and NOTHING come between me and the high of being passionate about my studies.

However, 2012 has come and to my dismay all my authentic pep talks to myself have not made me into the extremely hardworking, disciplined and dedicated student I was last year.

In this all I have learnt that I AM NOT DEFINED by what I do but I am defined by a loving and gracious God who made me, and He is enough for where I lack self-motivation, initiation and dedication.

I am thankful to say that just a few days ago tears of joy welled in my eyes when I realised I have a renewed passion and joy for my work. {I must say that it has helped that I have finally been given the go ahead to work on my practical work which really ump's me to do my theoretical work}

so please remember that no matter how well or badly your work is going, your worth is in God and that never changes. He only makes valuable masterpieces and you are one of them!


Much love,
