Who am I

7/9/2018

One of my co-worker introduced me to a song that stuck with me. I know who I am by Sinach.
A song that is so powerful the chorus just gets stuck and when I get treated as
a small person I sing it to me.
I know who I am. I know who God says I am, what He says I am, where He says I’m at, I live a life of
favour, I’m walking in power, I walk in miracles, I know who I am.
Yet I catch myself time and time again playing the game of, who face book says I am. Some I post as
my friends and family might get a giggle out of it and the rest is just
such a bunch of crap that I giggle alone.
This morning one came up “what is behind your smile” thought now that might be interesting and
here I giggle again. As I played along and clicked the link. I got an answer alright? one that said
Babies, babies, babies. Now that in its own might not be so funny but I don’t have a profile picture of
my own brilliant smile. I have a knight kneeling with a message of a battle that has just begun. It
gave ma an option to “try again” and I did lol this time my smile was a ray of sunshine.
This got me thinking, how many times will I play these quizzes and how many times in the past have I
hit the “try again” button, just so that the answer will be an acceptable one. Not once did I get an
answer that really told me “who I am”. There never was one that said, you are a stubborn, know it
all, who has a soft heart hidden behind a stone wall. Never had an answer of you look and act strong
yet you cry when no one is looking. Never got an answer that although you believe you are
untouchable, you lay awake in the evening wonder why people can treat you the way they do. Never
told me, although you are a loyal friend don’t expect any loyalty from a friend. Never once told me,
as you don’t hurt so you won’t be hurt. Yet I cry alone when the hurt was done.
How many times, have you and I, been influenced by the people around us. Felt worthless and in our
desperate seeking of others approval fell victim to our own insecurities. I know who God says I am,
yet I believe the seeds planted by others with the same insecurities as mine. As I believe only an
insecure human can pinpoint another’s insecurities. I am small, therefore you need to be smaller.
Forgetting that our Father does not make mistakes. He knows who you are!
We all are so busy trying to fit in perfectly in this world and yet this perfect world does not fit us. I
know who I am, yet I am sadden by who people say I am. I know who God says I am, yet I allow
people to judge me and say who I am, I live a life of favour, yet I am sadden if people take away
earthly favour. I’m walking in power, yet people sadden me with their attempts to take away my
power. I’m walking in miracles, yet I allow people to change my outlook and miss those miracles.
I know who I am. I know who God says I am, what He says I am, where He says I’m at, I live a life of
favour, I’m walking in power, I walk in miracles, I know who I am.

Do you know who you are?

The question comes up.. Who am I. I can't be want I want to be. I must always be who they want me to be.. If I don't want to be WHT they want me to be then I've been told I am not a player.. I am a outsider.. Sometimes it's better to be a outsider.. All the years I've been a outsider.. But for once I want to be What I want to be.. Your blog opens the way for me to be wht I want to be . I just need that push to go over the edge.. But please don't stop the blog.. It's a eye opener

Maybe it's time you speak up. When you do only the ones who really care will stay behind. The rest was never worth your time. Be brave and step out your box. 1 true friend is worth more than 10 who don't care. And you will only realize once you open up who is a waste of precious time. Good luck

so many people have a talent that empower us to go forward in life,yet we allow people to drag us down.this is so true that we must always remember that what God thinks of us is more importand as what people think of us.at times we forget when things get tough then we get so sad and go in a donward spinal,...its time to take a deep breath and get up....and know doesnt matter how many times we fall God looks at how many times we get up.each time we get tested we learn frm life lessons.having friends to hold our hands when it gets tough helps alot

Been reading every one of your blogs. Even the ones I don't see anymore, pity. Never responded, every one spoke to me. But this one, another story. Found a new motivational song. Thank you for understanding the under dog. Thank you for giving me insight but most of all thank you for admitting there is adult bullying. For the first time I now know. I'm not alone. Love your work.

No your not alone, most of us just don't realize that we are being bullied. And that does not mean stand for the physical punches the mental and verbal abuse is far worse. Thanks for the feedback. Keep on reading

This is a question i have asked myself a lot the last few months as i thought I had friends but in the hardest times in my life I was on my own yet with some friends I was told oh we will always be there for you but strange when I needed them they didn't even bother to give me a call if that's what you call friendship then I don't want friends like that

Being a good friend is hard work. And unfortunately sometimes our efforts are paid back in a way we don't understand. Had a few of those myself and although I forgave and moved on, the friendship is not the same. As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. If the friendship means any thing to you maybe you should face the demons. Sit down and talk it out. Good loyal friends are hard to come by. You will know if it's worth the effort. If not. Move on

anon, I have noticed most of the time we are so busy facing our own life challenges that we not aware of the things going on in the lives of our most dearest. They might not know that you have been going through a very tough time. I like to handle my own stuff and only when I get to breaking point I share with the ones close to me and that sometimes also makes me feel very alone. keep your head up and do not be afraid to share your darkest troubles, you might just be surprised at the amount of support and love you will receive.

Know I don't know but need to say some friends are just your friend to benifit them selfs. Had a good friend or so I thought. In a moment of weakness, when I was at a very low, I needed someone to talk to. I opened my heart and for the first time in my life, unpacked my inner luggage I felt grate. But then it showed me why u can never trust another Used my broken to score browning points. After that my life fell apart. I was alienated by the ones I held dear. 2 years later and I'm still struggling to get my life back in order. She ruined me for personal gain. I got divorced she moved in and today neither of us have him. He wanted to patch up but as you said once bitten twice shy. I will never allow anyone that close to me again. There is no friends only newsy people.

Who am I
