Covenant for Change-August 31st, 2014

Dear Jerich, Hey. It's been a long time since the day I wrote a letter for you but the first time I write "Jerich" as my recipient. You made the name almost two years ago. And I know you knew the reason behind. Let me remind you. :) Here are the ff. reasons: 1. For a change. You want to change your image as you change your school. 2. Forget the past. You want to move forward and decided to forget a painful experience of being a kick out accounting student in PUP. You think that's just your reason? Here's another fact behind those sugarcoated reasons. You hate being called "Jenny" and want to change it because you think that's very common and reason why you are mocked. As I grew older, I have realized that maybe I am self-hating and self-rejecting. I've always promoting self-love and telling others to love themselves before giving love to others but I, myself, am not doing what I am advocating. I hate myself for always lacking that love, trust and committing a violence to myself through comparing myself to others. I proclaim myself as God's princess and precious daughter, yet I never love and accept my being; who I am and who I become. I don't take a lot of pictures because I hate the way I look on them. I hate how my eyes are shape, why my nose is flat, why I have a wide shape face and why my brows are too short, etc. I realized I always keep telling myself I am the ugliest, I never accept me until now as I am confessing it right this moment. I lack self-esteem and self-confidence. It hurts me whenever my family never trust me of doing something, or obliging me of an order and thinking I will fail on fulfilling the task. I end up labeling myself as a loser and a worthless woman. I don't want to live like this and waste my life any longer. I WANT TO CHANGE. Today, I will let go of all those feelings and I want you to embrace yourself, accept all your flaws, love your imperfections and never let anyone define you. I WANT YOU TO BE BORN AGAIN THROUGH THE LOVE OF FATHER JESUS CHRIST. If you truly have faith in Him and love Him, you will do this. Keep His commandments to Love your God and others the way you love yourself. How will you love others if you hate yourself? Start to change by changing the way you treat yourself, embrace who you are and forgive yourself and your past. Everyday is a new life, a new hope, a new chance and you are born anew. the Love of the Lord refreshes your spirit and soul. Through him everything is possible and today, transform your Faith through a bigger and bolder love. ;) Let's have the *100DaysofChange. Today will be the start of it. Please keep yourself updated through this letter. -Day1: The way you look at yourself is the way you look at things. Fighto! :) Yours, Jenny Rica E. Ramos, 21
