Facebook messes with my head sometimes...and apparently they do it on purpose. I get caught up in comparisons with my Facebook friends...my appearance, my running times and distances, my summer plans, my accomplishments, etc. Crazy! Somehow Facebook convinces me that I should be discontent in my amazing life! Ridiculous! I haven't given up Facebook...I love knowing what my friends are up to! And I love being able to communicate! But, there are days when I have to literally walk away from the comparisons.
God has called me to be someone and live a life that is different from anyone else. There is only one Dawn Marie Dow Karr and I am the only person who can run the race that God set before me. Trying to be like anyone else will only lead to frustration. As a Christian, I am called to become more like Jesus, but God made that possible for me. I will never be perfect. I will never look like a model. I will never win races. I may never win awards for teaching. I may never live what some would consider to be an exciting life. I will be the best Dawn Karr that I can be with God's help! I will run my own race at my own speed (literally and figuratively!) and love every minute of it! I will keep my eyes on Jesus who is waiting for me at the finish line!
