I wish you could meet you.

I struggle from insecurities. I wish I didn't but it's something I'm working on. My biggest insecurity results from my desire to woo and have people like me. I'll often stress over if I talked to much, if I said the right thing, was I too obnoxious? etc... I have to remind myself that if people didn't like me, they wouldn't hang around. That's why they're my friends.

I must drive my friends crazy with my love of the moment but constant doubting of myself afterward. I was skyping with a friend and she knows my insecurities. I was fooling around during our skype date and she looked at me and said "Krissy, I wish you could meet you." I had never heard that before or even thought about it.

I want my friends to view them the way I view them. We seem to always have this lens over our eyes causing doubt and essentially preventing us from becoming the people we are meant to be. If we could look through different eyes and see ourselves the way the people that loves us do....imagine the confidence. imagine what we could do?!

My friends are such blessings. It's interesting comparing friends and family (though both are often very intertwined for me!). You're born into a family that eventually becomes your friends. However, you get to choose friends and they, in turn, get to choose you! My friends encourage me to be who God made me to be. I'm so thankful for these reminders of God's love and purpose for my life.

I wish I could meet Jesus and see myself through His eyes. I wish I could put my Jesus glasses on and see the world the way he sees it.

I wish you could meet you and see how wonderful you are.

Maybe we should go introduce ourselves in the mirror and see just how awesome we really are.
