Overcome the Lie

My friend Ashley at The Story Project has started this amazing campaign called, Overcome the Lie.

It is running from January 28th to February 3rd, so it's not too late to link up your post!
This is an excerpt from Ashley's post on how the campaign works!
a) If you're struggling with a lie, we are going to give you opportunity to receive encouragement by mailing you a reminder of the truth that you are loved, you are beautiful, you are enough. (through Lionhart)
b) If you have overcome lies, we are going to celebrate your stories through blogging your stories, doing things such as a synchroblog and flooding social media with our songs of victory. 

Please share your story with us because we all face some kind of lie that holds us back from doing what God  calls us to do. We need to encourage one another and spur each other on! 

My Lies>>>
I don't think I'm valuable. 
I don't think I have what it takes. 
If it seems like I'm going to fail, I will run in the opposite direction. 

For as long as I can remember, this has been my mentality. I can't even begin to imagine how many opportunities I missed out on because I thought I couldn't do it. 

Well, that's a LIE! 

My identity is in Christ and He is all that I need ... why then was my faith so small? 
Why was I scared to take that leap of faith?

Since my move to Texas, my faith has grown a lot and I take risks now; God put me in a place where I could only trust in Him and that's where I started to crush Satan's hold on me and OVERCOME THE LIE that I am not good enough, that I am not capable of doing anything!! 

This has been the hardest hurdle because at times when I have to apply for a job or I have to think of my future career, I always think, I won't get that job because I'm not good enough or there's someone better out there... But if God has called me to that position, despite my credentials, my name, my status, He will place me in the right place at the right moment. What do I have to fear? 


Ladies, if you're feeling what I feel most of the time, I just want to encourage you to press on and break through those lies! You are more than capable because God has qualified you to share in His inheritance!! 
Colossians 1:9-14 {ESV}
⁹ And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, ¹⁰ so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. ¹¹ May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, ¹² giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. ¹³ He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

He qualifies you, He qualifies me, and in that we can be encouraged!
