Self-reflection

I like songs that have a forward-moving rhythm...songs that propel you forward...make you want to run. They remind me that life goes on and there is an exciting future awaiting me. They inspire me to keep moving forward.

I have been doing alot of self-reflection over the past couple of days. I did so much self-reflection this past semester I didn't think I would ever want to do it again. Well, I've found myself almost forced to self-reflect before I can move forward. At first it was painful, but I identified some areas that are due for some growth. It was painful to realize some truths about myself, but it is so exciting to know that I can now start working on those areas. It is so good to see that out of pain comes growth. That is the only thing that makes the pain a little less painful...knowing that I am learning something through it. This growth is what will keep me moving forward...on to new and exciting things.

  1. I love you Steph. It's so exciting and encouraging to me to see God teaching you so much about yourself. You've grown so much. I pray you'll continually have the eyes of your heart enlightened so that "you may know what is the hope to which he has called you" and God's power toward you who believe in him (Ephesians 1:18-20)

    "Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." -1 Peter 1:13
