I can honestly say, I am starting to enjoy learning about myself because it is opening up a door to help others, that I never thought of. God knows where you are an expert, even though you may not realize what you have learned. I just dodged through life never looking back. Sure I was abandoned over and over again, but hey I'm tough was my attitude; so what's your problem? I had very little empathy or mercy. Now, it is totally the opposite. I finally realize that the way my thirteen year old self reacted, was to protect self at all cost. The way my sixty-plus year old self is responding is so very different, and for the better. I don't have to protect myself and everyone else anymore. God's got me, and I finally just fell forward into His arms and allowed Him to explain some things.
God is the best at defining our moments! Here is a link to the video below if it doesn't show up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RVeyV4_fmk&feature=youtu.be You can also view in your Browser.
If you are saying, "Yeah me neither," you are not alone in your journey. I recently learned for instance, why I constantly find myself finishing other people's sentences. Now that I know why, I find I am able to refrain; instead of thinking that it is just the prophetic in me. What we tell ourselves is not always the truth, but if we tell ourself it often enough--we will begin to believe it. Challenge yourself to find out why you do the things you do, then it will be easier to make the changes to better a better version of you. I can do this, and so can you.
