No apologies

Last week, I accidentally discovered that I had been "unfriended" on Facebook.  That hurt my heart and I questioned myself about what I had done.  I felt like I had messed up somehow by being myself.  I am not shy about sharing my joys and my struggles, and I definitely have lots of room for improvement.  But, I have heard myself apologize to people for being me...the person that God created...Dawn Marie Dow Karr.

This morning, my mom said to me, "It took me a long time to realize that it is sin when I try to be someone else.  I'm saying the way God made me isn't good enough."  Wow!  Way to bottom line it, Mom!  I took some time to repent to God for being apologetically me.  I am fearfully and wonderfully made!  (Psalm 139)  God made me an all or nothin' girl who loves deeply and lives enthusiastically and out loud.  No more apologies for living the life that God called me to live!
