Do you ever have those moments when you get an unexpected revelation about yourself? Every now and then I realize something new to me and it feels so enlightening.
I was just in the middle of a conversation and I was about to describe myself as not an energetic person, and it was very much like that light turning on. I'm not. I've never been high energy. But, somewhere along the way, I think I came to the conclusion that that is what I'm supposed to be - high, happy, bubbly, energy. But that's not me, and that's not bad. I'm calm, quiet, peaceful, but occasionally turbulent. I'm not the life of the party, I'm the friend you want to take on a quiet walk. I'm not the spark of electricity, but the steady thrumming of it in the background.
The more I know about myself, the more I can accept who I am. The more I accept who I am, the more I can see and appreciate the design that makes me wonderful, the more I can settle into my strengths instead of striving to be something I'm not, the more I can put forth the beauty I have, instead of seeing failures.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14
