What Do I Know?

As I stated yesterday I know that God is at work in my life. I feel as though I am the city that is falling apart in the movie Inception, but I know that somethings must be destroyed in order to create new. A dear friend of mine set a challenge yesterday based on Brennan Manning's book, A Furious Longing of God. I feel the challenge couldn't have come at a better time. One doesn't usually sit and think about these sorts of things and it is harder than one would think; I haven't ever thought of this view before. It is truly amazing the differences that are in the two lists. Who I am and who people see me as are two completely different people.

What I know about me-

What People See:

1. Is friendly to everyone (sometimes can be misconstrued as flirting).
2. Gets uncomfortable when serious discussions arise.
3. I talk way too much.
4. I stumble over my words or often can't think of a word when talking.
5. I open the doors for people.
6. I love thrift stores and do most of my shopping there.
7. A very happy person.
8. Act as though I don't have a care in the world.
9. Constantly experimenting with hair color and fingernail polish techniques.
10. I feel very strongly about animal rights and renewable resources.


What People Don't See

1. I struggle with accepting myself.
2. I spend too much time dwelling on things- past and present.
3. The creativity that I am afraid to share.
4. I struggle with anxiety.
5. I cry at the silliest things- and can't cry when I really should.
6. Change scares me.
7. I sing at the top of my lungs when I'm home alone.
8. I dance to my heart's content when no one can see me.
9. I am truly afraid of judgement
10. I am always seeking approval from others.


2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but all shall reach repentance."
