What I Am

Flashback - Edie Brickell song - What I am is What I am - You what you are, or what?

A first and important step in growing in character is to really take some time to understand who you really are - the whole picture - the good the bad and the ugly.

All of us are shaped uniquely and are given a certain type of personality - but the story does not have to end there -our experiences shape us but it it God who transforms us. Every personality has strengths and weaknesses - and our desire should be for God to transform those weaknesses in our life.

Not only that - but our positive knowing of ourselves should also be focused outward to the positive knowing of others so that we can better understand and serve them.

That's what I've been preaching about right now - you can listen to the messages at horizonschurch.com

What I am discovering is that relationships take a lot of work and a lot of vulnerability -and that's tough stuff, but it also makes for GREAT relationships.

On a personal note - Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Sean Taylor who was murdered this past week(he is a football player for the Redskins)

Talk at you soon.
