I Would Grab Something to Cover Myself

Transcription of the video (apologies in advance for the typos) …

When I was looking through pictures of myself, what’s funny is I would always have something in front of me, whether it was pillow or a kid or something, I always had something over me, because there is always that part of me that thought to myself – man – I just I’m embarrassed about how I look.

I don’t like how I look. I don’t like how I feel. So, I don’t look back I don’t know if I was even consciously doing it. As soon as I sat down, I would grab a pillow and cover myself. Every single time, I would just as soon as I sat down anywhere, grab something, and cover myself. Okay.

And then these two pictures over here, if you guys have seen any of my entries in Circle, if you’re part of the community, I posted these two pictures up here cause I’m super proud of them. These are two pictures from Ben and I building our house. Right? and its not something, I’ve talk about it before, but it’s not something I would ever be able to do unless I had focused on increasing how strong I was, increasing my endurance, and increasing my nutrition fitness.

I’m only able to do these things because of that. Because, wow, that stuff is really heavy and is really exhausting to lift these things because you have to put these walls together on the ground and then you have to go from the ground, get it up, standing straight up, and then you have to grab it and then lift it and then walk it in place. Unless you have the room right in front of where you’re supposed to be building to put it in place. So it’s tough.

In this picture right here, what you don’t see is there’s plumbing here. So we had to lift these walls up and over. Plumbing like the piping fixtures. So at some point, some of these fixtures are these pipes are up to above my knee. So you have to get these walls up and over and then very gently set them down, because if you drop them, they’re going to break. Right?

So I’m very grateful that God’s given me an opportunity to do this.
