Ugly Betty

So recently I've started watching this show "Ugly Betty" and I'm actually really liking it. Ok so it does have some drama in it that I think is really pretty stupid, but for the most part they don't focus the show on it. The show is basically about this girl, Betty, who is considered to be ugly, and outcast, the underdog. She works in the fashion industry where she is completely out of her element. Everything stacked against her would lead you to believe that she would not be successful. You would think that she is no where near qualified to do the job that she does. However, Betty always overcomes. She always saves the day. I've really gotten into it because I see this girl, who seems to have everything stacked against her, yet it never keeps her from doing everything she can to overcome the obstacles. I really love to see the story of the underdog winning.
I think the reason I like this so much is because I often feel like Ugly Betty. I often feel that I have so much stacked against me, that the odds are not in my favor. I know that I am way underqualified to do what God has called me to do. I know that I have battles in my life that are constantly raging. I know that I often feel inadequate and not quite good enough. I often feel like I'm the underdog. I am the one that no one really expected to pull through. I am the one that people said would never make it. "Samantha will always be sick. Samantha will always have issues. Samantha is a whore and always will be" The last one sounds way harsh right? But the truth is that these are all things I've had said to me and about me over and over again. To many, it seems the odds are stacked against me. Sometimes to me it seems the odds are against me. But I have one things that out weighs any obstacles, and that is the fact that Jesus Christ is my Savior and that makes me an overcomer. In my life, the "underdog" wins because God has given me the stregnth and ability to do all he has called me to do. The way some people in my past may see me means absolutely nothing because Jesus sees me as white as snow and has made me an overcomer. I'm tired of allowing what others have said about me affect the way I live my life. I'm tired of dwelling on those things. In my story, despite the obstacles in my way, I always overcome.
