Changes

As you talked, you were able to uncover one area that does indeed, need to be brought to the [[light]] and [[healed]]. You think of yourself as being less able to [[compete]] on an [[intellectual]] level with your [[brothers and sisters]] that have had the [[opportunity]] of gaining a formal [[education]] and have received their piece of paper indicating that they have indeed put in the hours. Recognize JoiLin, that those hours we refer to are under the heading of formal education, and that piece of paper, a formal piece of paper, indicative of those hours spent working toward the degree. [[Life|Living]] itself, is an [[education]] child, as well, you have always been an avid [[reader]] with a wide range of interests. Give yourself some credit for the [[knowledge]] you have [[attained]] on your own. And give yourself some credit here as well; you do not [[feel]] insecure with all of your [[siblings]] who have that formal piece of paper, it is only some few. If we look a bit deeper, you may be able to [[recognize]] that it really has naught to do with that piece of paper; it has more to do with [[personality]] [[conflicts]]. You will remember in our [[conversation]] yesterday when I spoke of difficulties a [[person]] [[experiences]] in one area that are [[echoed]] in or are manifested in another area? I believe this is true for you in this case. Look at the people you know that have their degrees, but with whom you are quite comfortable. If this were truly a [[problem]] of your [[feeling]] inadequate when in the [[presence]] of someone with a [[degree]], this pattern would hold true within all of your [[relationships]]. And so, we think the difficulty lies more in the direction of the [[individual]], and [[conflicts]] between you and your sibling that need to be worked on. Can you think of any other pattern or incident wherein as a child you were made to feel small or insignificant?

JoiLin: Yes, I think they mostly had to do with the way I felt about how I looked. My [[friends]] all had pretty [[clothes]], they all began the school year with a whole new wardrobe, and my clothes were mostly hand-me-downs or from a consignment store. I remember one year when my dresses were all too short, and they called me Alice in wonderland; I knew it was not meant as a compliment. In addition to new clothes, they all wore make-up and I didn’t have any…. my mother wouldn’t even let me wear it if I had any.

This has been due to your hard work JoiLin. This is due to your [[committed]] walk with [[the Father]]. Give yourself credit, each and every time you come to recognize the [[successes]], the [[positive]] changes you have made, and child there have been many. Look for them. [[Recognize]] them, and benefit from that recognition, by seeing the light you are [[becoming]].
