Who am I? A peek into my heart.

Who am I? A peek into my heart.

I normally start the week off with an outfit that I have made or some pretty picture but I want to go in a different direction today.

I’ve been thinking a lot over the past few weeks about who I REALLY am.

You can read my “about me” page but that’s not WHO I am.

A few months ago someone gave me what I thought was THE best compliment. She told me that I OOZED Jesus and she wanted to be more like that. That was so awesome to me because it showed that she was watching my life  and that my words and actions lined up with God’s word. Now, I am NOT a preacher but when I gave my life to God I truly gave it to Him.

Have I made mistakes? OF COURSE.  The mistakes that I have made, once I prayed about them and got it right with God I haven’t done them again. That is true repentance.  Not making the same mistakes over and over again. Because once you continue to do the same things, it’s a choice.

Back to this compliment. I never force my beliefs on anyone. If you don’t agree with the way I live and what the Bible says, that’s fine. It’s not my place to argue, but I’m ALWAYS open to help anyone that I can from the things I’ve learned about God.

Now I don’t go around quoting scriptures ALL the time or praying out loud and laying hands on folks. NAWL lol But if you NEED a scripture / encouragement to get you through a tough spot or need someone to fast and pray with you I will surely do it.  I try to live my life lined up with Gods word.

I’m only 37 but when I tell you I’ve been THROUGH some things? If I started to name some of the things I’ve been through (some were my OWN doing and my OWN fault) you would probably throw your computer lol. Not EVEN kidding.

So when I asked myself WHO AM I  started this brain storm sheet of paper type thing.

The first thing that I wrote down is a child of God. There was a time when I didn’t put God first AT ALL. Now I don’t think I do anything without consulting Him first  AKA PRAYER lol.

I am a nurturer and a helper. I love to take care of people and make sure they are ok. I was thinking about someone I haven’t talked to in months the other day praying that they are resting the way they should because I know they don’t get a lot of sleep because of all that they have on their plate. Even when you aren’ t in my circle, I still pray for you when you fall on my mind.

I love to help. I do NOT have to be in the spotlight. I would much rather do something behind the scenes. Sounds odd but it’s so true.

I am an encourager. Sometimes I want someone to encourage me because I always encourage others, but what I’ve learned is that when I encourage someone else I end up saying something to them that encourages myself.

So who I am when it comes down to it, is pretty much what’s in my heart. Well, IMO. There is still more to me than just that but that is the biggest part of me.

Have you taken steps to figure out who you are?
