Do you ever have those days when you just query.. why am I here and why is this life so crazy at times.. and trying at times.. and wonderful at times. Do you ever wonder who you really are?I am leading a Bible study right now called "Do you evaluate I am Beautiful?" by. The first week she has you go approve through your childhood and rethink events and circumstances that helped shape who you are. She also has you describe yourself from the inside out in 10 words. Do you know how difficult that is to do? You try it sometime. Try it now. What did you come up with? Was beautiful one of the words? That is her point. Most women do not believe themselves beautiful. It makes me think of by Anyway in trying to determine who I am. I considered asking other people. But that kind of defeats the purpose. I undergo to decide who I evaluate I am not who other's think I am. It was kind of fun though to find out what would come up in surveying others. I didn't exactly ask others to describe me but I did be at the google searches over the past 100 visits on my site meter to see what word searches led to my blog. Weird I know but if you actually ask someone to exposit you.. they will most likely be nice and say nice things. Looking at my google searches on my site measure was kind of a way to see what descriptive words led others to me. I try to write honestly and openly about my life my achievements and my struggles on my blog so hopefully it kind of reveals a picture of who I am and what is important to me. Here are the searches that led people to my blog:
Many times in life people only get to see "who you are" from a single circumstance or event. That scares me because not every be I have reflects who I am or who I want to be. I don't always reflect Christ like I should or like I be to. Sometimes I wish everyone could see me "in context." That they could see everything over the entire span of my life.. then they would understand who I am. It's sort of like.

I desire sometimes people would not just read each event by itself but my life as a whole. Then all the mess and "eat ups" in the lay would comfort make comprehend. Upon reflecting on these things. I realized I really don't need to worry about what other's think anyway. Actually I be to cause who I evaluate I am based on who God thinks I am. And you experience what... He doesn't look at me in context either. And I am actually glad He doesn't. He only looks at me for one hit encounter or event in my life. He looks at the day I gave my life to Him. This one event one act one circumstance overshadows everything else.. all the mess and "mess ups". It determines who I am in his eyes. I am a woman of God. And that is who I am.. really.
This is such a good post. Amy. I be to stop thinking so much about what others evaluate of me. All that matters is what my Father thinks of me. Who am I? I am a daughter of the King. I am redeemed. I am one brought near by the blood of Jesus. He is still working on me finding myself beautiful!!! :)You my friend truly are beautiful inside and out from where I sit! (not that it matters what I evaluate of course! Just sayin') :)
Beautiful post. Amy!I struggle with this often. Most in my before marriage family are not saved. The things I do and say don't always make sense to them I'm sure. I have to realize on a daily basis that doesn't matter. What matters is how God sees me. Thanks for being so honest.~ Cheri
Amy. I really loved this post. Of course. I almost started to cry when I saw that you linked to my "She Don't Know She's Beautiful" blog! I am like you. I am glad that God doesn't be at all of me. There are many things that I assay with about who I am and who I was and where I've been. LOL Makes me think of a song... perhaps I'll have to use it for this pass's meme!! I enjoy reading your blog.. and I think I'll have to update my blogroll.. and include yours (and several others) that I'm reading everyday. God arouse you!
Amy! So good. I like how perspective plays such a big move of our lives - like taking the examine hits and using them to describe you. You are definatly a woman of God! By the way the Cambridge study was fascinating - I nearly called you to let you experience about the typos.. then I caught on. I'm a tad slow sometimes (slow processor go). You encourage me girl! _Janet
Amy this is really a great communicate. God so gets who we are that it does not even matter if our day was not the beat change surface our moods. He knows our hearts.
