crossroads

what we do is a testament to who we are.
Just as God's compassion and love is a testament to His image, we too can be "analyzed" in the same way.

Identity has been a big "theme" in my life recently. While attending that pre-law infosession a month ago, I was reminded that I needed to be really confident in who I was and what I believed in if I had intention of going into law. Come to think of it, this is good advice for any profession and in all walks of life.

I'm very frustrated with the schisms in my own life - the shadows in my soul, the caricature of me in the "public light", the overblown ambitions, the deep desire to fellowship with God - those are the forces that consistently battle out on the grounds of my and body. Maybe it's a longing to find symmetry and alignment between who I am and who I should be...it's so easy to get restless and simply give up and let bygones be bygones.

the path of downward mobility, which is path that I too often walk in and out of, perhaps begins with a recognition of who we are as children of God. Maybe it begins with better self-awareness and knowledge of my own weaknesses and pitfalls. Do I know who I am and do I know what and who I believe in? That's perhaps a place to start.
