You are constantly reaching out in friendship. It is impossible, really, to present ourselves without some bias, because choices must always be made about what information to divulge. Even when we want to be honest, pride is ever rising up.

and thank you for this thought...Hello, dear PomPom,<br />and thank you for this thought provoking post today. I am very much a people pleaser type so I am sure I want to be admired. However, I feel like I can be myself with my family and friends. They, after all, have seen me at my worst and my best. Of course, God know me the very best of all. I am grateful for His love and thankful that He loves me just the way I am! Enjoy your lazy summer days as you catch up on reading and relaxation. This is very important for a teacher. Love and blessings to you, my friend~ VickiVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160280748777756207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-88183109680781008322010-06-24T14:04:19.227-07:002010-06-24T14:04:19.227-07:00I think to be known rather than admired is good, o...I think to be known rather than admired is good, our church have car stickers to describe how we feel about being in the fellowship , the sticker I chose was 'accepted' I think that's good in all aspects of life. Being admired is not as good as it sounds because people then have an image/expectation for you to maintain whatever it is they admire!. This is quite a deep conversation but I enjoyed having it (with myself I think!) Enjoy your ladies lunches.

He accepts me, just like the Lord does. <br /><br />Have a lovely weekend dear Pom Pom. xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-67524362222983556082010-06-24T08:29:02.475-07:002010-06-24T08:29:02.475-07:00Ah!

I try to be truly honest on my blog, but when it comes to facebook (which I finally got up the nerve to quit) and live social situations, I always tell the Engineer that "I put on my mask." I am usually reserved and only tell people what I know they want to hear. They don't see or know who I really am. Is that bad? I'm not sure...<br /><br />Your music is beautiful So relaxing. It sounds like you will have a good week coming up! Enjoy your last two days of class!<br /><br />Blessings!<br />DeborahThe dB familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.com
