as a man thinks, so is he
looking glass self.
your are selfish. you are weak. you are small. you can't do it. no one wants to hear what you have to say. your life means nothing. you have no purpose. people think your weird. people don't like you. you will never be successful. just shut up. don't say what your thinking, no one cares. no one is looking after you. you are alone. you are isolated. you are stupid. just stop.
you are a child of God. i will use you to do great things. you have the potential to change lives. i created you for a purpose. you can have everlasting joy in me. you have something to give people. you have an important message to bring. i will reward you for obedience. you are loved more then you could ever comprehend, imagine, or dream of. you will do great things.
which voice resounds the loudest in your head?
don't let people tell you who you are. you find your identity in Christ. when you listen to what other people tell you, and the voices that the enemy puts in your head, a self-fulfilling prophecy occurs. people take on the characteristics attributed to them. thats not who we are. thats not who we were created to be. we were created to be like Jesus. don't live in isolation and internalization. become transparent.
don't let your self-image reflect the world projection.
don't let the world control your mirror.
- we imagine how we appear to those around us
- we interpret others reactions
- we develop a self concept

life changing words.
Open our eyes
To see the things that make Your heart cry
To be the church that You would desire
Your light to be seen
Break down our pride
And all the walls we’ve built up inside
Our earthly crowns and all our desires
We lay at Your feet
With everything
With everything
We will shout for Your glory
With everything
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise
Our hearts they cry
Be glorified
Be lifted high above all names
For You our King
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise
To see the things that make Your heart cry
To be the church that You would desire
Your light to be seen
Break down our pride
And all the walls we’ve built up inside
Our earthly crowns and all our desires
We lay at Your feet
With everything
With everything
We will shout for Your glory
With everything
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise
Our hearts they cry
Be glorified
Be lifted high above all names
For You our King
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise
world changing people.

on wednesday in worship and creative arts we talked about writing. it was tremendously inspiring. the capacity of the human brain continues to blow my mind. its time to stretch, my friends. one human being has the ability to retain so much information. communicating with one another is vital in living a life thats worth more than inhaled oxygen. receive it, sort it, then give it. communication is clarity.
life. humanity. nature.
history is like a song flowing from the deep/comes out like a pattern and continues to repeat/the song in your heart although new and fresh to you/is only a continuance of an ancient tune/like flowers in the field and the dirt in earth and ground/we are all part of a larger and more magnificent sound/our heart flows into lakes like rivers rushing by/into one much greater purpose that gives reason to our lives.
the words are already there. floating around in the air, rushing in and out of people thoughts.
its our job to bring them to life. swallow and spit.
