WARNING: Construction Zone! (or should I say, "re-creating" zone!)


My character is always "under construction". If it's not fighting for fruit of the Spirit to be evidenced in me, then it's wondering if I've shared too much with someone- or, in my vulnerability, resulted in boasting somehow. (my tongue, indeed, can get ahead of me sometimes). My self-analyzing doesn't seem to end.
Is this normal?
Is this right?
Are we meant to be constantly aware of our weaknesses, flaws and "issues"?

I suppose, perhaps one day- if God so chooses- I will feel like I've come to some maturity. I'm sure I've come some short distance already in the last 27 years. but I also suppose that, until I reach glory, hopefully at a ripe old age, I will always feel less than perfect and full of flaws.

To this I humbly choose to "raise my glass" and say, "To God, Who uses chipped and leaking vessels, and foot-in-mouth pilgrims! Cheers!"


My Five Pledge Statement of Faith

1) I believe that God is Who He says He is.
2) I believe that God can do what He says He can do.
3) I believe I am who God says I am.
4) I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.
5) God's Word is alive and active in me.
