It’s so hard not to have an impossible standard for our lives…I think it’s expected out of everyone.

I am alot older and saw her in prime time along with the Bionic woman.

I always dealt with the fact why do women always have to be bionic or super to be something or noticed?

You hit the nail on the head Jenni “to find confidence in the gifts, talents, strengths and limitations that make me who God made me…”

With our God made gifts… We are already bionic or Super.

But that wasn’t the question huh? hmm. I need to lay down that I need to accomplish it by myself. Hard

Great post! I wanted to be wonder woman, too so many times… and had the very outfit she’s sporting above for halloween and the underoos, too! I think sometimes I still try to be like her – wanting to be called “wonder woman” – never saying “no” to anyone that asks me to do anything…or feeling so bad that I might have to say “no” that I find myself trying to rearrange my schhedule just to help somebody else out… it’s very difficult to be the best at everything – and I’ve learned that I’m not “strong enough, smart enough, tough enough, gentle enough, kind enough, eloquent enough, educated enough, or patient enough”…and most of the time I’m not pleasing God. thanks for the post – I need to learn to please Him and not everyone else.

I’m older, so I didn’t have the underoos. I was too old for ‘em.

I had a friend ask me last week if I ever do any down time — this was while I was volunteering at a booth at a concert after a day of work and ministry and planned the next day of work and ministry.

I told him yeah, about 6 hours every night. The look I got wasn’t one of laughter and it made me think that I do push myself beyond my capabilities a lot. Then I find myself sick or so tired I can’t be nice and I crash. Hard.

I think I shall take another’s advice and read these words daily. Right along with Galatians 1:10. Thanks, Jenni.

Great post. From the outside you kind of appear like Wonder Woman. It had to be said.

But I know that you are reliant on someone much greater than yourself. That shines through too.

Totally have to put down my wonder woman cape. It is a daily struggle. I am constantly trying to be “enough” and it always leaves me exhausted! A friend of mine told me many years ago that the best I would ever be is human. Maybe one day, I will truly put down the cape. Thanks for the reminder and for showing me I am not alone in this “enough” mentality!

I had those very same underoos !

I always get caught up in trying to do everything the best. Struggle with this one, moment to moment.

Just trying to be the best at what God gifted me with and let those around me who are better at all those other things I’m not so great at is the perfect way to lift others up and please God.

I’m older, so I remember this picture well…and I also remember….

I thought she was pretty!
