So here’s the thing:
I have not been very confident with myself. Like, ever. And my look is slowly becoming more and more adult instead of the childish look I tend to hold onto. I’ve got a new jacket. I know, it sounds like nothing, but it boosts confidence in me. I think it makes me look good.
Now, I’m getting my haircut and beard shaved today which for many is no big deal. To me, it’s something of a big deal. I like my hair longer as it hides my eyes and what I believe to be too pointy ears.
I think I’m mostly afraid of the new feelings I will surely have after it’s done. I’m sure I’ll look like a new man and feel like one, too. I’ve had a lot of comments on my eyes which is why I hide them. I know I look a lot better clean cut. I’m just at a point in my life where if feels like I’m finally growing up, and it’s a bit scary. But it’s super exciting.
I feel like this new look will give me the confidence to grow up even more. I’ve been looking into getting apartments and with my degree, I’m sure I could get a better job.
My prayer request is simple. I would like for someone to pray that I don’t become too conceited and vane. I don’t want to confuse confidence in myself with that. I also would like to feel okay with being confident. But I know it will be tough because part of me feels like I deserve to feel confident and good about myself. But the other part tells me to keep dreaming, like this is better. I’m humble this way. Give the confidence to someone else.
I will still remain humble, though. I don’t want a big house, fancy car, expensive clothes, or the best food. I feel that’s one of my gifts. To be poor in spirit, as it were.
I know this is a silly request, and I hate nothing more than requesting a prayer for myself, but I feel like part of me deserves it. But then the other part of me tells me it’s selfish. I chose to go ahead and post anyway. I guess it’s like there’s no such thing as a stupid question, so to is there no such thing as a silly prayer request. Worth a shot, anyway.
Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day, everyone.

God made you, gave you all your gifts, and He has a plan for you. Be proud to be a son of God. And . . . don’t you worry because if you get “too” proud, He knows how to bring you down a peg or two.
