There is nothing quite like a worldwide pandemic to make you feel the weight of your inconsistencies, failures inadequacies.\u00a0 I don’t know about you, but they seem to stare me in the face some days, maybe most days and it can get heavy, really heavy.\u00a0 The weight of the world is heavy right now.\u00a0 Everything seems heavy and overwhelming.\u00a0 If this makes sense, my very being seems heavy.\u00a0 Some days I feel I don’t recognize myself and the representation of who I am just is heavy to carry.<\/p>\n

I have been reminded recently of WHO\u00a0 or maybe better, WHOSE I am.\u00a0 Some days I forget who I am.\u00a0 Some days I lose myself and I doubt myself.\u00a0 I doubt that I can change.\u00a0 Some days anger takes over and I don’t recognize the positive parts of myself because it is easy to focus on the negative in myself which seems to be what represents more than the positive.\u00a0 Anger seems to be my go-to emotion, although I am realizing, what comes out as anger, may be just a reflection of deeper emotions that haven’t made their way to the surface yet.\u00a0 However, anger still takes over some days and as much as I am trying to learn and understand and change this negative stain in my being, most days I just feel stuck; asking myself, will I ever change, will I ever rise above this, will this ALWAYS be a struggle?\u00a0 It may be.\u00a0 We are all human and we carry human things in us.\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.”\u00a0 Isaiah 1:18<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t often have time to delve in to scripture, but yesterday I was reminded through song of Who I am and although the negative surrounds me some days, the negative of life around me, the negative world and the negative parts of myself, but that is not the end of the story.\u00a0 There is redemption, there is grace, God continues writing my story, ALL the parts of it because ALL parts can be redeemed.<\/p>\n

So, I am not perfect and I am very aware of that, but I know that grace knows my name and I am trying to LIVE and rise in that.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I realized I needed some music to help me realize who I am.\u00a0 I started with the first and then the rest just kept coming one after another.\u00a0 Maybe today you need to be reminded of who you are, WHOSE you are and that your story is still being written.<\/p>\n
