"I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you Nobody too?
Then there's a pair of us?
Don't tell! They'd advertise, you know!
How dreary to be Somebody!
How pulic, like a Frog
To tell one's name, the livelong June
To an admiring Bog!"
-Emily Dickinson (260)
Wow, did anyone see the sky tonight?? It was beautiful! Clear night with stars and snowing. Speaking of snow, it was fun driving in the snow with Adam and Trey. It brought back so many old memories and made some new ones.
I pulled out the Dickinson quote cause I was thinking about who I am today. Its weird to look back and see how you've changed in the last year...two...three.... but it can be good. "Know thyself". Its good to assess what you have become. Its good to find blarring character flaws and challenge yourself to change them. But the best thing that comes from it is realizing how broken I am and how much I need God. It helps me refocus on the goal of becoming more like Christ, but also realizing how much I fall short and how much I'm in the need of Grace daily. I forget that so often. "Cheer up, you're worse than you think...........but God's love is greater than you could ever imagine." I'm messed up God, help me! /
