Authenticity

Authentic: Today this is what I will strive to be. I will try to be myself even when I know it might not be who someone is expecting. I will not agree with others just to make them like me. I will stand up and be counted if given the chance. I will reflect the Spirit that lives within me in all that I do. Quite a challenge; will you join me?

A huge challenge...
 
Lately I've really been feeling the struggle to be who I think I should be, or who I think other people expect me to be (which may be way off base anyway!). How often do I ask God who I should be? Not enough. It occurred to me after I read your post that not letting myself BE myself is actually an affront to the God who created me. HE is the potter and I am the clay. I need to quit worrying over what other people think of me and let Him and Him alone mold me. Thanks for the great challenge!
 
This will take me much more than a day! :) But I like the idae of starting
 
I hope it went well, Donna. Authenticity ought to be the most natural course, but if it were then more of us would be.
