Truth #2) Lying and pretending to be someone you aren't just so be people will like you doesn't really accomplish a whole lot. Sure, someone might befriend you but if they don't like the "real you" then they aren't really your friend...
Truth #3) Acting stupid doesn't make you cute.
Truth #4) Simply going to church and doing things that are "church-y" doesn't make you a christian.
Truth #5) Acting like you have everything perfectly put together 24/7 is exhausting and can put unreal expectations on yourself
Truth #6) Too much of a good thing can truly be a bad thing.
Truth #7) Failing at something once doesn't make you a failure.
Truth #8) Admitting your weaknesses doesn't make you weak.
Truth #9) There is a difference between laughing at yourself and making fun of yourself
Truth #10) God DOES give you things you can't handle. Not because He wants to see us fall or make mistakes but because He wants us to cling to Him with everything we have in our times of trouble. It's like He reminds us that He's still here and even in the middle of our biggest storms He isn't going anywhere.
Truth #11) This was a hard post to write. :S Everything I wrote is true, but that doesn't mean I don't struggle with those things. I compare myself to other people. sometimes I pretend to be someone I'm not just so people will like me, and sometimes I go to church and go through the motions to make myself look good. I'm not proud of that, or any of those things I struggle with, but realizing the truth and being willing to change how I act and my attitude makes things better.
"No one is perfect but we serve a perfect Savior who will always love us unconditionally."
