Well, I guess one would say that I am awake this morning. In my opinion, I am no where near awake. I tried to get myself to fall right to sleep last night, but my mind was a whirlwind of different thoughts and emotions. I woke up this morning much the same way. I woke up wondering something that I have thought about before. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stand outside of yourself and see who you are as others see you? I only have my own perception of who I am and I can listen to what others say about me, but I really can not step out of myself and truly see what they see. Part of growth and maturity comes when we realize our own faults and change them to better who we are. Wouldn't it be so much easier if we could set aside these shells we live in and take a good, long, hard look at ourselves? I wish so much that I could do that simply because I want to be a better person. I don't want to change who I am for anyone but myself. Thank God for His Holy Spirit to convict me of those things that need changing. And thank God for those who are honest enough to say to me that something in my life needs to change. My prayer is that I never become so content that I do not feel the tug of God on the inner most parts of my heart. Since I am unable to see myself from the outside, I can only go by what is on the inside.

I think about that ALL THE TIME! I always wonder how others perceive me. I absolutely would jump at the chance to step outside myself and see myself from that perspective.
