Perception

This is my first crack at doing a blog. I do not normally do thing like this, but I have been urged by my wife to start. So, in saying that, this might not be real long.

On March 17th this year, I will be celebrating my 30th birthday. And with all confidence I can say that I am just now learning who I really am. I'm starting to see myself now as God sees me. I couldn't see that for a long time. I have a bad habit of trying to be that guy who everyone likes. And in order to do that, sometimes you have to sell out who you really are. And doing that for so long, I had become blind to who I am. I'm thankful that my wife is patient with me, because she can see the real me, but it's frustrating to her when I don't. God has had to pull some things out of me lately that I didn't know I had. It hasn't felt all good, but I am standing on the Word that says,"And we know that all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." One thing that I have learned about myself is that I am a part of "The Called". God's word has been like a mirror to me as of late. I'm learning to trust in who God says I am rather than what other people say or think I am.
