Different
I've changed a lot since I first started this blog. Even from last year when I updated my info. I was just reading my occupation, my interests, and music and movies. I definitely have grown and changed. It's good. This is normal, I know, but at first I was like, eh- what was I thinking. That's not me... or, oh yeah, I DID like that...
I have been understanding myself a bit better recently, as God has used tools and His voice to help me learn so I can grow. I've learned recently that I do a lot of my life depending on my feelings. This can be a dangerous way to make decisions. haha even in the little example I saw of my likes and interests... I seemed to have had some emotions from watching Must Love Dogs, probably just having watched it, in order to have listed it as my favorite movie. Because if you asked me today, it would not have come to mind.
What's interesting, is that coming to realize that I am a feeler, I am introverted, I have specific struggles with ways I want to live my life in a more intentional and loving way, liberates me to make decisions after understanding these aspects of myself. If I am honest, if I acknowledge my personality traits, I find myself more liberated to problem solve my weaknesses. With God. I do need His Power and Grace. I am unable to shoot for a plan or goal without His power. His plans are too big for me to accomplish on my own, I am reminded. :)
I am grateful for His inventory. I like being able to look back over the past year with new perspective, and hopeful clarity. I am grateful for His reminder to dream. I am grateful for His Power. And I am grateful that He has never left me, never forsaken me, and never will! Amen. I will dream. I will rest assured at His everpresent, intimate knowledge and love for me. His Promise to never leave. And I will keep walking and I will keep dreaming. :)
