I am an upfront person. I do not make any claims that I am always diplomatic though. One time Michael told me I could argue faster than he could think....I believe that has changed. I believe I am not a fast thinker myself and therefore not a very good arguer. I don't enjoy conflict. I REALLY AM a peace lover. It bothers me to think I have hurt someone. I like to fix people (which I know is totally out of my league but should explain the counseling degree). I hate to think someone dislikes me. I know people do...dislike me, but I try not to give them much to go on. As a rule I love people and want to encourage others.
One of the reasons my heart goes out to the accused and misunderstood is because I battle depression on a regular basis. I have medication. I take it. But, there are outside influences that bring on bouts that are more than a pill can fix. I am determined to die to myself, my selfishness, my bad attitudes and let Jesus LIVE. This is the only way I can function. If you don't "get" that Google "sinner's prayer", or "saved by Grace" or call me on the phone. It is simple really...like my life.
