Today I listened to this radio broadcast from Focus on the Family that was recently recommended by a friend. A panel of women discuss our tendency as women to wear masks and to assign value to people and ourselves according to talents, appearance, or ability. The issue of pride is highlighted as being at the core of our unwillingness to be real with others.
It’s a good listen if you can find a few quiet moments. Or do those issues only strike a chord with me?
Hoping this blog is keeping me real. Please let me know if I ever seem something more.
…And I realize the good in me
is only there
because of who You are…who You are
And all I ever have to be
is what You’ve made me
Any more or less
would be a step out of your plan
As you daily recreate me
Help me always keep in mind
That I only have to do what I can find
And all I ever have to be
All I have to be
is what You’ve made in me.

I will plan to listen to that when I can-DEFINITELY need to hear it. For me it always seems to come back to pride. Also, that is my favorite Amy song of all time. I love the words and it is also the song that spurred me to try guitar lessons.
Guitar Lessons?! Awesome. I tried to learn a bit myself. We should “get real” and have a jam session sometime. Thanks for the comment…
Thanks again Jennie for your thoughts! And the link to the program. =-)
