Today i wondered about things.

I wondered about who i am.
Every once in a while, i wonder if i am what i do... or if who i am causes me to do things. I'm pretty sure that my true Self is what gives me energy, what gives me the drive to be involved in what i am doing. Every once in a while, though... maybe i'm doing it just to be doing it. Maybe i'm doing what's expected of me. Maybe i'm doing things to feel good about myself, to feel important.

On days that i wonder like this, i'm reminded of things.

I'm reminded about who i am.
I am created in the image of God, the Imago Dei. His Life in me fights to be lived, fights the lust of my flesh, the pride of my heart, and the worthlessness of my plans. Abundant Life bubbles inside me, struggling to overflow, so that even in my afflictions, i would be able to meet the needs of others even as my needs have been met by the Grace and Comfort of the Living God.

I really need a nap.
