Authentic; I have decided that that will be my word for the year 2013. There is many reasons behind this word to me. Probably the main reason would be because I feel like I hide/ not as open with my faith as I feel like I should be. I feel like I hide who I truly am and who I truly want to be with others because I am too worried about fitting in, but that's high school for you.
I need to put my faith into action, not only on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays; my faith needs to be in action all day, everyday, 24/7. The only way to make a true connection with God and to see myself how He sees me is to put forth the time and the effort.
I have to remember that no matter what chapter of life I am in right now that God is STILL writing. He is not done, and there is more to come. I am thankful beyond belief for the amazing people God has put in my life to remind me of the beautiful master piece God made me; sometimes when life is rocky, it's incredibly hard to remember, but they remind me (even when I am stubborn).
Being authentic with my faith may step on some peoples toes and I am completely aware of that. Am I nervous? Beyond! There is a lot of things in my life that are going to have to change if I truly want to be authentic. It sure as heck not going to be easy.
I'm just a ordinary girl, with a dysfunctional life, following God's call all at the same time.
Let go. Let God. Now lets do this :)
