Vlog! One Word - part 1

Last weekend my very dear friend, Stephanie, and I made a vlog for this here blog.  Yes, folks, it's true. We sat down to discuss Mark Batterson's book, Soul Print, and what one word describes each of us.

If you had to pick your one word what would it be? Not the word you wish described you, but the word that is who you are right now. Stay tuned for segment 2 and my one word!

ps. this is not a paid review...we're doing this for our own enjoyment.

Every Circumstance

I over-process just about everything.

I think about past conversations and future ones too. I think about the impact today will have on tomorrow. I think about the words others choose to use, or not use, with me.

Am I too much; am I not enough? {Paradoxical, I know.}

I'm calculated and controlled in the worst way possible...in the sharing of my emotions and feelings with those I love the most. I hardly say what really matters and cover it up with facts and events. I can talk about my day, but not about how my day made me feel.

I wish my people would just ask me "What do I mean to you? How do you feel about me?" because maybe then I would have the courage. But, what faith and trust does that take?  {And, yes, I really call them 'my people'...I'm possessive, what can I say?}

I guard my life with my "goodness" but my life is not my own to guard.

Those thoughts...the ones you just read...that was my Friday morning. Then I read Holley Gerth's blog post for today and was reminded every circumstance is being handled with care by the God who loves me. God's got a plan. I can't be the only one who needed that reminder today, right? Right.
