though this letter frequently brings up the matter of hypocrisy, for me something else came up today--voicing my own personality. yeah, its a new one, but its about time that i turn up the "me." sarcasm, voice, jokes, teasing, questions--turn down for what? so turn it up. thats the me that people want to engage in. thats the interesting side of me. the side worth listening to, the side worth teaching, the side that people want to be around and get to know. quiet, goody two shoes never got anywhere.
its more than just pointing out something thats messed up the way paul did. sure, he rejected hypocrisy, but his personality came out when he used his voice as well and it drew people to him. thats what im taking away. God's message to me must involve coming out of my shell and speaking up as paul did.
it doesnt necessarily have to be regarding injustices. maybe it's something simple to move towards glorifying God in the small ways so the big things work out more smoothly. so come tomorrow at mayo clinic when im working, it all comes out. laugh out loud because im gonna be around. im committing to getting a laugh out of everyone and focusing less on perfection--everything in good taste and ill be fine. so long as im myself it'll all be fine. be me. be you. b u. (as a side note, ill also be shadowing swarup on tuesday--a chance at a big semi-first impression, it looks like. dont mess up, girl!)
