Perspective ..

A year ago I wondered how I would survive the raging emotions that were causing such darkness. This year, the thoughts are different - Not dark, not overwhelming - but definitely worth wrestling through.

This I know - I am not near as afraid anymore
This I know - I dont feel alone hardly ever
This I know - God is so pleased when we speak whats on our heart as He knows the truth anyways
This I know - I am ok being me; but will stay teachable - take me as I am if you want me
This I know - there is more to know  .. but I love what He is showing me.
This I know - I feel healthier than I ever have - like everything else a work in progress
This I know - I want God's way - even if it means letting go of some of my plans.
This I know - I believe the only ones that are "disqualified" are ones who cant admit their own stuff

This I know - my view of God is not near big enough .. BUT it is changing & growing daily

The word for the last couple of weeks has been PERSPECTIVE

Perspective: a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.
 
synonyms:outlook, view, viewpoint, point of view, POV, standpoint, position, stand, stance, angle, slant, attitude, frame of mind, frame of reference, approach, way of looking, interpretation

Perspective on reality
Perspective on others feelings towards you (me)
Perspective on God's thoughts and feelings towards you (me)
Perspective on future
Perspective on truth

- all comes from a frame of reference; lens of the past

As Pastor Shane says - God give us a bigger clearer vision of you

This I believe will change perspective on how we (I) face anything - anyone.


That's all for today
