Who I Am…

By Vin Thomas June 16th, 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..

    I think that is the secret to success! Letting God change who we are instead of us trying so hard to change what we do (which is so impossible). I’m encouraged by you babe and I am glad we are together in this journey called life ;-)

    Love your wife.
