Today I watched someone with a personality very much like mine. It was thought provoking to watch her cry, laugh, love and be totally comfortable with who God created her to be in the purest sense. I spent some time processing why I have tended to shut down in the last few years, especially around family. What is it in me that does not allow this person to come out? In fact I become so guarded that I act in the total opposite manner. I am sure that I will not come to any life changing conclusions this evening but I have been left with an experience that challenges me to move beyond the past, get over all things from my youth and move on to be the person God originally knit together. Living out who He created in the purest form I am able. Quiet the challenge to take on at 31… I have had at least 20 years of practice living otherwise.
