Getting back to the basics

This past few weeks have been interesting and eye opening for me.  I have learned some things about myself that in some ways I don't like but at the same time makes sense and has helped shed light on some things.  As a result and I'm working on getting back to the basics and strengthening my foundation that I know will hold me and support me.  That means making sure that I spend time in God's word on a daily basis and hearing from Him because without Him I won't succeed.   Secondly,working on seeing myself the way He sees me and loving me the way He does, which is something that I'm having a difficult time with and I'm asking to the Lord to help me with, because I need to love myself and appreciate myself for who I am and for whom God has made me to be. In addition there's the practical things such as keeping the house clean, such as keeping my room straight and organized,making sure I wash my clothes regularly and not allowing them to pile up etc. 
All of these things are important to me building a solid foundation and being all that God wants me to be.  I do know that this is a process and the foundation won't be built/strengthened overnight. It takes time and it's a daily thing.  I do know that I am learning and growing for that I am very grateful and thankful for and I just pray that I will continue to grow and mature everyday.
