Today we are writing ourselves a letter committing to knowing ourselves deep and true.  Take an enneagram quiz, a spiritual giftings test, or find out your Disney princess..growing to know yourself allows you to step into authentic worship.   1. Make space in your life to know your own voice and to be in God's presence. Be in life-union with the vine. (John 15:4-5) 2. Take a test!  Literally get to know yourself by exploring through gaining information. Use the enneagram or other personality assessments to learn core motivations and core fears.  3. Do what you enjoy. Fan into flame your gifts (2 Timothy 1:6) so you can love yourself (personal rendition). Love yourself so you can love others. (Mark 12:31)    Here is the letter:  Dear _ this is where you insert your name.  Gah, girl! I love you so much!  You are like sooooo pretty!  And strong and smart and brave.  Don’t you wish you could have known 20 years ago how much you could go through and still be killing it at life.  I know you don’t always feel like you're killing it but look around… 1.  2.  3.  It feels like these things could break you but they haven't.  So today I want to meet you again. I want to really really know you, understand you, forgive you, and love you. I want to dream again and be filled with hope for your future.   I commit to exploring and digging for what is true.  I commit to facing my story and giving it compassion and asking Jesus to meet me in any space that needs healing.  I commit to dreaming about the future.  I commit to never stop learning about who I am and what I need and what I want. I will think about how I want to feel in my life and I commit to doing whatever it takes to live a life that worships God, the one who has pursued me, rescued me, and covered me with His love. I will use my life to give life to others.    Love, me    Join me for 1:1 coaching for fun exploration into more of these topics. $50 for a month   https://www.facebook.com/groups/ashandivy  https://www.instagram.com/theashandivyshow/
