| Hello people!! I'm really not dead, I just don't have time to update this thing anymore. I've been really busy lately, so I'm not in my room that often. I'd like to ask whoever reads this to pray for the trip that I am going next week. It is called Big Break, it is a mission trip directed at ministering to the college students at Panama City Beach, Florida. God is amazing and he is going to do great things with it, but it is also going to be a great challenge. I look forward to the opportunity to suffer for Jesus.

What's bad about you: when things get bad, you tend to retreat and not let others in
In love: you're a true romantic - it's flowers, bubble baths, and candles all the way
In friendship, you're: eager to lend a sympathetic ear and likely to develop a deep connection
Your ideal job: bartender, magician, or secret agent
Your sense of fashion: simple clothes that don't distract from your personality
You like to pig out on: seafood - from fish sticks to salmon

| (I'm not really reading this book, but i found this excerpt interesting)
In
our society today, we have placed a great stress on being authentic. We
have talked about placing masks over the face of our "real" selves, and
of playing roles that disguise our true and real selves. The
implication in that somewhere, inside you and inside me, lurk our real
selves.
Supposedly,
this real self is a static and formed reality. There are moments when
this real self of mine shines out of me, and there are other moments
when I feel compelled to camouflage my real self.
There is
perhaps some justification for this manner of speaking, but I think
that it can be more misleading than helpful. There is no fixed, true,
and real person inside you or me, precisely because being a person necessarily implies becoming a person, being in process. If I am anything as a person, it is what I
think
judge
feel
value
honor
esteem
love
hate
fear
desire
hope for
believe in
and
am committed to.
There
are the things that define my person, and they are constantly in
process, in the process of change. Unless my mind and heart are
hopelessly barricaded, all these things that define me as a person are
forever changing.
My
person is not a little hard core inside of me, a little fully formed
statue that is real and authentic, permanent and fixed. My person
rather implies a dynamic process. In other words, if you knew me
yesterday, please do not think that I am the same person that you are
meeting today.
I have experienced more of life, I have encountered new depths in those I love, I have suffered and prayed, and I am different.
Please
do not give me a "batting average," fixed and irrevocable, because I am
"in there" constantly, taking my swings at the opportunities of daily
living. Approach me, the, with a sense of wonder, study my face and
hands and voice for the signs of change; for it is certain that I have
changed. But even if you do recognize this, I may be somewhat afraid to
tell you who I am.
This was taken from the Book, Why Am I Afraid To Tell You Who I Am? by John Powell | | |
| Anyone reading this who has an extra moment, should check out my buddy Bryan's xanga site aYnotanI , His November 2nd post has some really good insight and I think it's really worth the time to read it. God bless | | |
