Beating Yourself Up? Try This Instead
“You’re not good enough.”
“Why can’t you do better?”
“You never do it right.”
These are some of the things I have said to myself over the years.
Kelly loves meeting new people and connecting with others, especially over a coffee! She enjoys using her passion for creative writing and the performing arts to draw others closer to the Father-heart of God. Kelly is from New Zealand and currently resides in the Kingdom of Tonga where she teaches at a faith-based school. She is sold out for the purpose of equipping young people with tools for a faith-filled life in Jesus Christ. Kelly loves island life and spends as much time as she can swimming and sitting on the beach, sipping from a fresh coconut!

On the shores of Lake Tekapo stands a picturesque old stone church that often features on New Zealand postcards. The 100-year-old Church of the Good Shepherd was built using nearby stones, all rough and uncut, held together with mortar to make up a truly beautiful church building.
YMI (which stands for Why Am I?), is a platform for Christian young people all over the world to ask questions about life and discover their true purpose. We are a community with different talents but the same desire to make sense of God’s life-changing word in our everyday lives.
YMI is a part of Our Daily Bread Ministries.
