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.

How Super is Super-Man

Super-Man has so much trouble with his decisions. He had no Alfred or Jarvis, but he sometimes listened to Batman or his current sidekick. His sidekicks were temporary, and he usually turns away those that offer to help him on a long-term basis. Except for his dog, Krypto. He acts like he needs only himself but comes up short each time. Lois Lane has him wrapped around her finger, so he does crazy stuff for her that benefits only her and gets others killed or injured. He does not think clearly when it comes to her. Superman needs a consistent friend that can be there and put up with his foolishness and pride. Even more than the Justice League. He has them trying to help him figure out this human thing. He had an identity crisis for most of his life. Sound familiar? We as earthlings find ourselves dealing with this as well. The world is constantly telling us who we are or whom we are supposed to be. The Holy Spirit is the Word of God. He is alive and will speak to us to tell u...

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...

This Life is a Race

Life is a race. Each of us has a different race to run and a different speed in which to take it. Each one of us has choices to make as we go through life. Choices of how dedicated we want to be or not to be. How quickly we end the race will be determined by our dedication and distractions we allow to step in and affect our progress. We can be more effective or less effective in or walk or run through life. Another choice is given to us. We can bring people with us as we go or we can create stumbling blocks to place in their path to prevent them from running/walking with us.  If we allow others to come along beside us we can build them up as well as have a greater support group for ourselves to encourage us as we are on our journey. It is not always a matter of one foot in front of the other. Sometimes we have to motivate ourselves to step out of our comfort area and do something a little scary and unusual for us. When we do this, we inevitably make much greater progress, than...
