Driven

As I think about this year I wonder what drives me...  Some are driven by love, jealousy, fear, pride, shame, honor, respect...  Here are some things that drive me...

1.  I want more of Him and less of me.  I journal about this often... my life, my attitude, my everything... I want it to be about Him and not me.

2.  I don't want to mess up as a mom.  The fear of messing up my baby drives me to strive to be a good mom.  Learn all I can and do all I can for this child the Lord has entrusted me with.

3.  I am not clear of the future, but I can't wait to see what the Lord does.  I am taking this one day at a time...  school has started, but after that I'm not sure yet I have great expectations as to what will be and in order to see that, I am driven to do well.

4.  I continue to learn about myself.  I am a child of God, but there are many pieces that make me who I am in Him...  And as I continue to grow and learn about the person that God has molded me to be is an adventure.  I am a third culture kid...  and being 100% Korean and 100% American is a difficult thing and continues to be a challenge as I weigh out the cultures, traditions and values of both cultures and form it into who I want me to be.  Along with that I also have many things I have experienced in life that make me who I am and the person the Lord uses for His kingdom.  I pray I will do all I can do in what the Lord has invested in me and that is a driving factor in my life.

These are just some thoughts that I had...
