God centered mom

Symptoms of Self {getting centered}

Anger. Control Issues. People Pleasing. Jealousy.

Yep. yep. yep & yep.

I’ve read many books about each of these “issues”. And then God revealed to me these issues were all really the symptoms of an age-old disease…pride.

Here are posts I wrote about each of the symptoms that appear in my self-centeredness. Along with each negative characteristic I paired the contrasting positive attribute.

May these posts help you recognize your need to place God in the center of your life:

  • Gratitude: the alternative to grumbling
  • Servant of God: the alternative to people pleaser
  • Submission: the alternative to control issues
  • Listening: an alternative to an uncontrolled tongue
  • Contentment: the alternative to comparison
  • Patience: an alternative to anger
  • Letting go of perfect…
  • You are gifted. I am gifted. God is the giver.
  • Modesty: the alternative to attention seeking
  • Accepting help: the alternative to doing it all
  • Accountability: the alternative to criticism
  • Close Frienships: the alternative to self-sufficiency
