Celebrating Me

Excerpt from Completely Whole by Paulette Harper © Aug 2011 Thy Word Publishing

I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth!

Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well” (Psalms 139:14 AMP).

I’m celebrating me because I’ve come to know that I’m all right—regardless of what you think about me, or how you feel towards me. I celebrate that I am a whole person—spirit, soul, and body. I am who I am because of what God has declared about me.

I’m celebrating the woman God has designed, destined, and called me to be. My celebration continues even if you don’t want to rejoice with me. I recognize that the celebration only needs a select number of people. These people will celebrate my freedom, my achievements, and my progress, because they are not intimated by my success.

I’m celebrating my freedom. I’m free from the bondage and the oppression of others. People that are not liberated tend to want to harness others that are progressing and moving forward. My celebration comes from years of struggle—struggling with self and the image within. The picture I see now is not the same one I saw years ago.

Because I allowed others to form and shape me; I became who they wanted me to be. But that is no longer the case, praise God! I have been set free from the stigma and the mindset that others try to put on me. I love me. I know-what a statement! If you can’t say that about yourself, then something is wrong.

I realize I have issues, and God is still dealing with me about them; however, my issues will never prohibit me from loving the person I’ve become. I’m celebrating the freedom in my mind. I’m free to be who I am and do what it is I am created to do. What you expect me to give, I cannot. Giving you the world will not cause you to accept me for who I am. I must be happy, content, and satisfied with me. As I look in the mirror, the person I see is one who has come to terms, with her person, character, and spirit. I change on my terms, and my terms only. Embrace my freedom. Come along and ride with me, if you desire. Celebrate my existence, because celebrating me is celebrating the God in me.
