Be You.

Lately, I've been struggling with the idea that "being me" isn't the greatest. For some time now, I've been feeling that who I am and how I'm wired hasn't been so easily embraced by my some of my friends. We're very different to begin with, but I haven't been able to stop beating myself up with the thought that it's my characteristics that drive us apart. This occurrence with extremely significant relationships has made me very self conscience with all of my relationships. These last few weeks, I've had to step back and just pray about it. I've finally come to a place where I can no longer allow myself to believe that God did not wire me to be who I am. Who I am isn't for me anyways. It's for Him. It's to love and bless others. If I have that mind set, how can I really go wrong? It doesn't really matter how people respond to it. I created this little graphic with a photograph I took as a little reminder of this truth. Each new day that comes, I don't know how to be anyone but me. As should you, in humility, "be you."

Blessings,
