We are skipping an enjoying the silence blog today. I promise we will continue tomorrow.
Want to know something? I have had a HORRIBLE week! Hahaha, straight up... bad!
My mom sent me this message today. I think you'll enjoy and get something from it, I know I did!
"Character comes out from a life that is hurried, stressed, overwhelmed, and yet where promises are made and deadlines are met. It is a computation of who we are in those stressed moments. Character is not just something we put into our lives, but it is what comes out of our lives in those hurried times. It is beyond a system of values or virtue we learn from our parents, or even at church.
Character is who you are to God Himself and those around you. It is the real you!
The church and parents must teach it, but they cannot insure its function. That is the responsibility of our choice, a determination we make ourselves, a stand in stress that we continue to uphold."

When we are finding ourselves in rough days, like mine were this past week, we are stripped away from any pride or anything that is adding to the mask we put in front of ourselves, our characters are put to the test. We are too burnt out to hide anything, our true selves are exposed. So what is God telling you, or showing you? Who is the real you? What are you being shown by God?

Wow, so true. Well, hopefully you'll have a better last day. :)
