If any of you see how I am at work you wont believe it's me. I am quite quiet and very slow to speak and I don't always get involved in my co-workers conversations. They perceive me as very quiet and introverted... they just don't know how I am with my family and close friends.
I don't remember when it became impressed upon me to be very careful of my words and actions especially in the "outside world". In our church family, I can be very outspoken and opinionated (depending to whom I'm talking to), I can be quite shy, seriously. I know it's because to the people I am comfortable with, I know I am still loved and accepted despite my imperfections. But I realize, the "outside world" isn't as forgiving. When they know you are a Christian and they see you being no different from them, they form their own conclusions and well, it's not a very good testimony.
It was the people whose lives were powerful testimonies to their faith that inspired me to take a closer look at my life.
I am truly a work in progress. There are still many things about me that need fine tuning, but I'm happy that I am not the same day after day. Daily the Lord is changing me. And hopefully I pray, the changes will also serve as an inspiration to the people I associate with and also the people who are watching me from a distance.
