Getting to know me BY: KB 4.25.15

I haven’t written anything of substance in a while; I've been taking time out for me, spending time in thought and reflection. I've been toying with the word studies on both grace and humility. I had to look at some recent triumphs as well as some MAJOR setbacks and poor choices based on my imposing self-will over God’s will; more important my ability to confuse and rationalize the two. I then had to ask myself if I had friends or if I was courting minions. All of which are very tough question to ask as well as answer…self examination is NEVER an easy task.

1 Peter 4:3      For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.

What have I done with my life and myself since I have come into the knowledge of Christ? What have I done to acknowledge His call and purpose for my life? Am I living in the flesh? Do I continue to be selfish and self-serving? There is no one question…each question leads to another they are all interconnected.

On some levels my answers were less than stellar and celestial minded. I had to confess a lot of faults and missteps and I had to repent. I had to look and myself and the company (counsel)I kept and didn't keep. I had to look at the how’s and why’s of how the situation came to be.

I am by no means a zealot or an extreme fundamentalist. I am someone who loves God and wants to live an upright life of integrity. I am someone who wants to be known for their  love, compassion and empathy. I want to be known and remembered as a person who loved and helped others in/out of season. I want to be known as a person of faith.


I realize I am human and I am going to miss my mark, often! I must learn to forgive myself, brush myself off and move on. Please note.....I did not say forget the lesson
