I wrote this about a year ago, and I am sad to see how my passion and integrity have withered a little… but determined to reignite and make this a reality:
There are a lot of things that I would like to be, much more than those I am proud to say I am.
I want to be true.. I want people to respect my honesty and feel like they can offer some in return.
I want to be someone who is in such intimacy with God, that it cannot escape the attention of whoever, whenever they are in my presence.
I want to be full of strength… that is not mine, but His
I want to be a person who is contagious, who makes others laugh.. I think laughing is the best thing in this world. True and sincere laughter is the cure for anything and everything.
I dont want to be perfect and I want to come across as knowing that I’m not.
I want to be understanding and wise enough to know when to cry and laugh and when to speak and when to listen. I want to be able to be ears to those who need them.
I want to be words to those who need wisdom.. I desire so much to be wise.
I want to be generous.
I want to be someone who isn’t afraid of failure.. someone who takes risks and lives with energy and inspiration.
I want to be an initiator.. someone who has good ideas and actually puts them into practise.
More than that, i want to be dedicated.. and committed. someone who sees things through to the end.
I’d love to be someone original enough to not worry about originality.
I want to be able to write about things that inspire and challenge people…..I want to be someone who can articulate to some degree, otherwise indescribable emotions.
I have a lot of strong opinions, one being that apathy is evil’s best-friend. I try to be humble enough to learn, but passionate enough to use my knowledge in the face of injustice.
I believe in the Jesus of the gospels, and not the Jesus that is often misrepresented by us christians or by people in power - who claim His name over their decisions.
I believe He is the only Way, the only Truth and the only one to give us Life.
I hope I can keep growing into these things.
