Authenticity
I read a book once called "Who You Are When No One's Looking" by Bill Hybels... It is a book on Character. About being real, to yourself, and to others.
I post a decent amount of stuff on this blog, but not about what is going on with me I think.
So here is the deal...
I am going to be real about myself to you guys. I am going to post 3 real things I think I need improving on, and three things I think I do pretty good.
So...
Improvements:
1) I bite my nails... I know kinda ridiculous, but I think it is a stupid habit and I need to kick it.
2) I try and get into every conversation within a 10 foot radius of me. It isn't my business so I shouldn't try to mind it.
3) I rush people, I try and put everybody on my timer, and the world does not revolve around me.
Things I do pretty good:
1) I will be your friend, not your acquaintance, your friend, I will care and I will bend over backwards to help you if I think I can.
2) I read really fast, I love it because I retain it too. So you want me to go over something you wrote, I can read it and get back to you quickly.
3) I have a big picture mentality 98% of the time. Occasionally I fall into my own microcosm but not often. I try and get everything to happen together.
So there you go a little bit about me.
And the other big reason I wrote this, I need prayer.
I want to be in full time ministry, ministering to young people... I want to be a Youth Pastor. But I need it to be full time. My mentality runs along the lines of once you get me past halfway I am all the way. I can do 3/4 I go straight to full.
So please, be praying that God will open the doors for Karina and I to minister to the youth somewhere full-time.
