I am…

• incredibly impatient.
• pretty selfish. I don’t want to be but I am.
• I get angry at other drivers. I often yell “JACK HOLE” when someone does something I don’t like. It’s my way of not saying a cuss word. It’s the first part of one cuss word minus the curse word plus the second part of a different curse word minus the curse word. I’m not proud.
• addicted to technology.
• grumpy when I’m tired.
• ashamed at how frustrated I can get at the people I love.
• way too sensitive.
• often distracted and not in the moment.
• stubborn.
• always right. At least that’s the way I act. I know it’s bad.
• overweight.
• a slacker. I have some goals that I haven’t met and all I have to show for it are lame excuses.
• shy around people I don’t know. I have a hard time being myself because I am afraid of how I will get judged.

Thank God for I AM.

Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

Because I know I AM I am…

• forgiven
• learning to put others first.
• convicted about getting angry.
• saved by grace. I don’t have to work to get God to love me.
• learning to be myself no matter who I am with.
• finding my identity in I AM.
• a way better husband. He calls me to love my wife like He loved me. I am thankful that she’s patient and that I AM is making me better.
• confident that I don’t know it all.
• a work in progress.
• loved.
• accepted.
• passionate about Him.
• reminded at just how much I need I AM.
