Who Am I?

                                                                                                   

Who am I?

I was speaking to a young adult about things going on in her life. She could not figure out why things weren't working for her. I asked about the decisions that she makes. Why do you make these decisions? She said she didn’t know. I asked her “who are you?” Because her decisions seem to be sporadic. The choices she was making were not consistent and not following a plan or even a certain characteristic. 
So, I asked if her if she knows who she is. If we don't know who we are then we don't know what we stand for; and we don't know who we are; who we represent. As a young adult that is one of the first things that we need to learn to be successful at adulting and at long term decision making. 
We make our decisions from our values and our direction or vision for our lives. If we know where we want to go, then we make our decisions accordingly. If we are not confident in our abilities, our potential is limited therefore we limit our expectation as well.
When we add in faith we change the dynamics based on how much we will allow God to be a part of our lives. If we choose to limit God then we limit our possibilities. If we allow Him full access, then the possibilities are limitless and therefore we are along for the greatest ride of our lives.

You see, neither our situation, our need, nor our desires will move God into action. When we activate our faith that He wants to do and will do these things for us then we move the heart of the Almighty God. That’s when we see things begin to happen in the natural realm and we can see things change for our good. We just invite Him in to every situation and make Him the Manager of each one.

This can apply to anyone. Age has no barrier or influence in this. It is based on someone that can catch the principle and put it into action. When we know who we are, then we know what we are made of, where we're going and what we're looking for out of life. This will give us confidence, direction, safety and boundaries. It can even give us a lifestyle where before we had none and we are tossed around by anything that happens to come our way.

So open your Journal take a look at your mirror (the Bible) find out who you are. Decide on who you want to be. What type of character do you want to have? Even what personality do you want to have?  When we find out who we want to be we have our Direction and from that we can begin to make decisions accordingly.

Day 2

Well it's been a few days since I posted anything. We have been really involved in many things going on. My daughter and her family were here a few days and boy does that change things up. It is a delight to have them over. We have so much fun with them playing, chasing, tickling, teasing and watching their expressions and responses as they learn. We can never get enough of them.  The babies are our grand-babies. River will be 1 year old in 5 days and Roman is 3.  Having children that young around, our schedule is adjusted differently than what has become normal for us. It takes a different type of expectations and schedule for the littles because their needs are so many and become priority.  Yes, that does mean sacrifice. Oh wait that is the meaning of parenting isn't it? Ha! Who knew parenting would be described as sacrifice and work. The rewards are so much greater than what the sacrifices are and also last much longer. I love being a parent.  I have enjoy...

Dear Holy Father,  I am humbled to be viewed as precious in your eyes. Thank you for taking on my sin so that I could take on your righteousness. Please help me to see myself as you see me, help me to thrive in your beauty as a woman of worth. Show me what you have created me to be and show me what gifts you have given to me. I know that I was made for a purpose and I know that everything I need to accomplish that purpose is in me. Father, I ask you to open my eyes so that I can see me the way you see me, with your glory and your beauty. Help me to understand my part and all that you have given me to do in this life. Thank you, my heavenly Father, for making me complete. Your love is more than enough, your Grace is more than I can understand and more than I deserve. Yet you gave it all to me just because you love me. You continually show me who I am in you. I love you, my Father.

Super Hero Sidekick

We host the Holy Spirit wherever we go. We are his transport the Holy Spirit is not our servant. He is like Alfred is to Batman. You live like Batman, in secret, doing good. God says, "I will reward you in the open, like Bruce Wayne. What would Batman be, without Alfred? Alfred was his guide, his conscience, his best friend. Batman walked away from all of it because it wasn't helping his heart. He came back for Revenge. As he was working towards that, even the opportunity for Revenge was taken from him. At his lowest point, he chose to do it God's way. Alfred suggested this way when Batman was in combat training to be a ninja. He was driven by his passion for Revenge, when he hit rock bottom at the end of himself he was able to hear the Holy Spirit and do it His way. Super-Man has nothing. He has no sidekick and turns away anyone that offers to help him. He acts like he needs only himself but comes up short each time. Lois Lane has him wrapped around her finger he...
