an acrostic on integrity...

one of the workshops i attended at the women's retreat at bethel church this last weekend was titled "living with integrity - how to walk your talk"

this workshop was taught by one of my favorite ladies...lisa f...

so...being the giver that i am (smile) i thought i would share an acrostic that she shared with us...to help us remember what "integrity" is all about...

the most powerful quote i have ever heard on integrity...which lisa quoted as well...is as follows:

popularity allows you to live with others...
integrity allows you to live with yourself...

an acrostic for a woman of "integrity" by lisa f...

a woman of integrity has a positive Influence on others...

a woman of integrity recognizes that it is Necessary in her life...

a woman of integrity recognizes that her body is the Temple of God...

a woman of integrity quickly admits her Errs...

a woman of integrity is Genuine...

a woman of integrity honor's God in all her Relationships...

a woman of integrity honors God with her Income...

a woman of integrity has a Teachable heart...

a woman of integrity Yields to God's word and ways...

"and whatever you do (no matter what it is) in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in (dependence upon) His person, giving praise to God the Father through Him."

a woman of integrity is not living by her feelings...whether she feels like it or not...it is a constant and necessary check-in...

although this was a "women's" conference...the word integrity applies to everyone...so to my men readers...just insert "a man of integrity"...

the definition of integrity is...completeness, unimpaired condition, soundness, honesty and sincerity...

what i know for sure...is that this is how i choose to live my life...is it easy? not always...because i truly do rely alot on my "feelings"...something that i have really been focusing on in my life...i have based decisions on feelings...and been let down...i have trusted people based on feelings...and been let down...

what i know for sure...is that the only one i have control over is myself...and for me...i want to be known as a woman of her word...a woman who can be trusted...a woman who is there when she says she will be...

a woman who does what is right always...whether she feels like it or not...
