Assignment #14

Character, Communion, Calling, Community.  Knowing myself. 

Who am I? 

I am a shy person who takes a long time to feel comfortable around new people.  I am very insecure about everything.  I hate feeling worthless.  I like to please others and that sometimes gets me burned out and then frustration begins.  I don’t know how to forgive and forget.  My friends definitely bring out the fun side of me and help me relax.  I am a very independent person.  I like coming up with ways to help others; most of the time they are not the greatest ideas.  I have come to find out that I am not very approachable and I would like to work on this.  

Whose am I? 

I am a child of the Lord.  I know that I can come to him with any problems that may come up in my life.  I want to come to a point where I don’t second guess what the Lord wants for me.  

Why am I here? 

I think I need to learn how to control my anger and learn to forgive and forget.  I know that I cannot become a true servant of the Lord until I conquer these issues.  I don’t know what my calling is yet; but I know it will become clear to me when the time is right.  

Where do I belong? 

I know where I want to belong but it’s the journey the Lord has for me is where I truly belong.  I want to belong in a church community that is a second family to me and I can go to them for help when I need to. 

I hope you enjoyed my thoughts.
