Day 13
It’s my vanity: I check myself out in the rear-view mirror one too many times. To finish my look, check my lipgloss, give myself a winning smile, haha. It gets the best of me. And sometimes I let the negatives define me - the things I don’t like (profile, oily skin, crooked glasses, bags under the eyes regardless of sleep…)
So whenever I can get the focus off of me, it’s a good thing, like on Sundays. Honestly, spending time at church is becoming something I desire and look forward to in the week more and more. Crazy! Half my gas and time (and a good chunk of my money) is going towards my church! It’s not that it gives me a break from the kids (don’t have those), and it’s not exactly a hotspot for hooking up, and I’m not getting paid to go….so…
…the only thing that must be compelling me to be there is seeing the face of God. The more we stay with Him, the more I see His way working together, the more I come to understand Him and His love for me, the closer my understanding of who I am.
Not that I have an identity crisis. More of a vanity crisis. And I think we all do. We get stuck on ourselves, take pity on ourselves, deny risks because of ourselves and how we might feel. But when the focus centers on Christ, I find out who I am. It’s not the outside or the accessories, I’m so much more – IN CHRIST i know who i am.
