Who I Am…
06/16/2008
I heard a quote last week that has really stuck with me:
Temptation doesn’t make you who you are;
It reveals who you are.
This has been a powerful conviction even just this week. There are times when I justify or downplay my actions based on the fact that I was tempted. “I wouldn’t have done that normally — it is only because of (insert temptation here)”. Temptation is just the catalyst to bring out what was already there.
This got me to thinking that I don’t want to just change the things that I do in life – I want to change who I am! I don’t want to delve too deep into into all the implications of this truth, but I thought I would share it with you. A little Monday morning food for thought…
On another note, we found out some old friends of ours are having a baby. We are so happy for them and hope that we can meet the little guy or gal someday..
