Here's what God's been teaching me lately: if I'm not me...who will be? To me that's a loaded question. I think so many times in my life I try to be something I'm not...I try to search for who I really am...I have to take a step back and figure out what I am all about. God didn't make a mistake on me...I wasn't supposed to be more of this or more of that. He made me just how He wanted me to be...He just made me me. I can't be someone else...I can't be different than how I really am because I won't be quite as effective for Him that way. I need to embrace my own style and my own personality and my own ways and let Him shine through. I also don't need to force others to be like me...to like the same things that I like. I'm looking for acceptance not conformity. God uses me in my weakness. He uses me in the inadequate state that I'm in. He wouldn't want me to be anything other than me. I think a lot of times when I get burnt out it's because I am trying to be something or someone that I'm not. He loves me and accepts me just where I'm at and wants to use that...He wants to grow me from here...not from some further point on the journey.
