so we are getting to launch into a series on our identity as to our relation to the Creator. i'm excited...not just cause i've spent the last couple months listening to Eric Mason our at Epiphany Fellowship preaching on our identity, but because of how God is shaping my own identity. the more i become aware of who i am in Christ, the freer i become. i am free to relate to others, irregardless of their interpretations of me, i am freer to pursue idees, irregardless of whether or not they will become successful ideas. i am freer to be me. the best part is, i keep learning about me...
...sometimes its a hard learning process. i learn about good things, but it seems more often than not, i learn about those things i wish weren't a part of me. and while that can be painful, i'm thankful that i can become aware of them, and thus begin to deal with them.
i chatted with Tony Kriz this past week and he shared about this community of men he is a part of and how the more time he has spent in that group, the more he realizes he doesn't know about himself...and thus the more he learns about himself, make sense?
anyway, not sure how connected these thoughts are, but i'm going to spend the next few weeks trying to post here regularly as we embark on this journey through our identity...it won't be exhaustive, i'm not even close to that knowledgeable, but feel free to follow along.
