Be Who You Are

I've spent the last two weeks figuring out what I was going to write for my first blog. I've been working to make my first two blogs "happen". Attempting to make them perfect so everyone will say "this is great". But in my cubicle on Wednesday March 23rd I realized my main roadblock: me. I was trying too hard to be what I already am: a great writer. In the midst of that I realized we approach God the same way. We try so hard to be His straight-A, never-get-it-wrong kids that we miss out on just being in His presence. We get caught up in the "do" and never learn how to relax in what we will "be" and what we already "are". So I challenge you: be who you are and stop doing what you think you have to do to be that. I promise you, God will thank you for it.

Oh how, I can relate to your story. For I too try to be a straight A student as well, trying my hardest to get closer to God, thinking I'm not good enough. Thinking that if I just try even harder, to not mess up this time, or just keep beating myself up! God will see how much I want to be that good and faithful child. I'm not! I'm now going to just me myself, and stop trying to be what I think I should be, and let God do the changing in me. For He loves me for who I am.
Thanks, for your story. I'm not a member, I use to always watch from tv, until they took the program off. Thats how I came accross your story, looking for a way to tell how they removed the church program, but still has it listed to show on ch 13 I think its wups. Keep getting the word out, No one can stop the hand of God.
