Summary

SummaryI’m Vanessa, and I once thought I had it allβ€”success, family, faith routinesβ€”but deep inside I was prideful and self-reliant πŸ˜”. Then a coach challenged me to read Esther, and I saw my own arrogance mirrored in her story. I fasted, prayed, and in January 2014 I took the plungeβ€”literallyβ€”into baptism, surrendering my pride and embracing the Holy Spirit’s power to change me forever πŸ™ŒπŸ’§. Now each morning I ask God for humility and rejoice in His gentle work in my life ❀️.

I didn’t NEED God. I knew enough. I could get by on my own!

Then I read the book of Esther. She was deceitful and yet God used her. She was abused by men yet God used her. She sinned yet God used her.

Then, I got it. I was arrogant and prideful, yet God still loves me. The Holy Spirit could help me change!
