Unaware

My daughter’s words to me last night……..“Mom, you are hard to please”. WHAT??!! My immediate response…… But, But, But it's because of my lack of independence that I am this way. The because I am dying of this terrible horrible debilitating disease that is slowly and agonizingly paralyzing me while my mind remains active and watches my body die excuse. She replied “No mom you've always been this way, it's just more apparent now.” Wow. I thought I was one of the people that really did see herself honestly. I have seriously said "there is nothing that you can tell me about myself that I'm not aware of on some level." I was wrong.

As Megan and I continued the conversation this morning she said that I am one of the few people that she will talk with about changing. And she also said that I make it easy. Ok, I’ll take that.

Romans 12:2 (NLT)
2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

I believe God uses people in our lives to make us aware. I do desire and am thankful for the people in my life that are willing to hold up the mirror.
