May I live up to your view of me!
I want...Oh wow.<br /><br />May I live up to your view of me!<br /><br />I want you to know that you've been "used" (got to be a better word) by God. I've jjust been involved in two rather difficult/painful discussions on some online forums, in which I was misunderstood & accused of having some rather destructive motives. There was no way to explain/defend myself, and so I let others think as they would ... but I wondered, "am I arrogant? do I think I'm superior to others? is that how I'm coming across? Please help me see what I need to see, God."<br /><br />Now, I live with me. And I have a houseful of witnesses who can attest that I can be as crappy or as quasi-saintly as anyone else. I'm a complicit conglomeration of ego and Spirit, like all y'all...! ;)<br /><br />But I know that my heart's desire is to be as authentic as I know to be, to share who/how I am, AS I am (in process), and to hopefully inspire others to see/be themselves, as God does. I'd love to see everyone walking around, grinning like idiots, wide-eyed with astonishment, muttering, "wow, THAT's how He sees me?!?" And, of course, as a direct result, to see everyone else the same way...!<br /><br />Yeah ... I have lofty goals. I'm determined to learn to live this, even in (especially in!) the most difficult circumstances/relationships ... and to let it be contagious.<br /><br />So ... THANK you, dear Anna, my new friend, for telling me this, for encouraging me when I truly needed it. YOU are also amazing. As is everyone reading this, or avoiding this, LOL!<br /><br />Welcome -- do you have any sites, or thoughts to share? I'd love to know more.Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100904350829701234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432734053115127369.post-26460462178155711562010-01-21T01:28:45.885-08:002010-01-21T01:28:45.885-08:00I just wanted to say that you are an incredible wo...I just wanted to say that you are an incredible woman. I accidentally stumbled across your art blog (your work is fabulous, by the way) and have spent the last hour and a half reading your thoughts. I finally decided it was time to call it a night, but you have certainly given me much to think about. Your outlook on life is inspiring and you put your thoughts into words beautifully. There are so many concepts about the spiritual aspect of life that I agree with or that explain my own outlook quite perfectly. Thank you for sharing your amazing insight and knowledge. You've enabled me to organize and rethink my views and inspired me to live life more fully. You are amazing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17997684466845315772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432734053115127369.post-90756215000026442052010-01-20T23:10:48.226-08:002010-01-20T23:10:48.226-08:00LOL - silly humand indeed!
If we learned to laugh...LOL - silly humand indeed!<br /><br />If we learned to laugh at our own, and each other's, foibles ... rather than destroying each other over them, what could we do with all that energy...?!?Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100904350829701234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432734053115127369.post-87183289761842299172010-01-20T19:08:27.107-08:002010-01-20T19:08:27.107-08:00Isn't it funny how we usually get the two mixe...Isn't it funny how we usually get the two mixed up. Personality is what we usually cultivate, leaving individuality in the cold. Silly humans!!!!Chris Ledgerwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905022342741427178noreply@blogger.com
