This past sunday, the first sunday of 201o, I went to my friend's church and the speaker
asked us....who do you want to be this year?..he made it clear that he wasn't after any new years resolutions or lists of things we have to accomplish...but who do we want to be...
my first thought was...well i want to be samantha brown and travel the world while people follow me with cameras, duh....but as I kept listening...I was more encouraged than ever to really pursue myself. That might sound weird...but that's where i'm at right now.
I'm in a place where I need to invest in myself....in order to be able to truly invest in others.
"love your neighbor...as yourself."
How can I love my neighbor...If I dont truly love myself.
Know my strengths...know my weaknesses...ask myself questions...challenge myself..figure ME out
On my road trip home I starting thinking about who I want to be...
And I decided I want to be a strategic giver this year.
my definition of a strategic giver is someone who seldomly asks themselves
How can I step out of my comfort zone, for even just a second, in order to possibly make someone else comfortable?
I'm so excited about finding creative ways to give to people ....
and i dont mean money..bc right now i have little of that at my disposal.
but I do have my joy...my peace...and my smile..what else do i need?
"the world is such a wonderful place."
