I Am You

Posted on: 06-22-2012

I am you. I am merely at another stage, another day of life...

I am you. I easily share my pains and laugh at my stumbles…

I am you. I ran as fast as my feet could carry me. I ran until I could run no more…

I am you. I don’t quite get it some days. How you could love me…. Me…

I Am You by Dana Pittman

I am you. I am mommy, and wifey, and sister, and daughter, and … and … and …

I am you. I look at my list of To Dos and sometimes I find myself tucked and folded in the corner. Waiting for my slot in #2…

I am you. I love hard. I loved easy. Then I withheld love because it was difficult to determine…”Are you worthy of my love…”

I am you. I grow, I retract. My waistline is something that sets me aback.

I am you. I wonder daily…How.Could.You.Love.Me… But you do…

I am you.

 

Question: What is one way God’s love amazes you?

    God’s love amazes me in the way He leads and directs my life. It’s completely different than what I expected, but SO much better than I could have imagined in so many ways…

    And I love that God has given you the calling of ‘spiritual midwife’!

    I am amazed daily that God chose to love me even before I was formed in my mothers womb. He knew all that I would to betray that love yet He still wants me. Not only does He love but He want to spend time with me and allows me to play a part in His plans for myself and others.

      Sister I agree with you. That is amazing. And yet another display of His love for us. He loves us flaws and all. Praise Him!
