LISTENING TO TWEAKING
I am in the seventh grade, and my best friend's mom is this cute, 5'2" golf mom, caring for her family, playing golf with her friends at the country club. I tell my mom I want to grow up to be a cute little golf mom. She says, "Is it time to tell you that you are 5'8"?"
Isn't it amazing how clearly we DON'T see ourselves?
My young mom friend is admiring another mom's productivity and saying how she wants to be accomplishing those same things. I say, "But your accomplishments are in a completely different arena--would she be able to do what you do?"
What do we need to tweak when we don't see ourselves clearly?
We don't need to change our height (since we can't) or our life's calling (since we shouldn't). We only need to tweak our thinking. We can decide that the way we are is the way we are and that it is okay, in fact, more than okay--it is just right.
No one could fit into Cinderella's shoe except the one for whom it was designed. God made a body for us to fit into and life for us to flourish within. The tweaking is DECIDING that His job was making no mistakes, and that our job is to move toward that perfect fit in our mind.
