Tonight was open house at our kids’ school, and I found
myself in a social environment in which I am waaay uncomfortable: a (noisy) room full of people I barely
know, but must be friendly with.
For 45 minutes. I’m getting
better at it, but it’s situations like these that take me back to my awkward
days. You know, the ones that are
still going…
Why am I so ill at ease? I think it’s because I forget to quit looking around at all
of them and how I fit in. I forget
to still myself inside instead, to be at peace with God in me and who I am in
Him.
They say that confidence goes a long way toward making a
good impression, and over the years, I’ve learned to fake confidence like
there’s no tomorrow. My real
confidence, though, doesn’t need to be faked – He is steady and secure, and
will always be there. And I am who
He says I am.
