me pondering
What forms your identity? I'd like to conclude that environment and circomstance play a huge role in who you are and who you become. Becuase my parents are officers I move a lot. Normaly my first complaint when people ask me if I like being an officers kid is that I can not stand moving. It is hard and difficult. Adjusting is easier said than done. I've lived in B.C (though I moved when I was 3 so my memories of that are verry foggy i remeber one incident with an ice cream truck and thats about it) I have also lived in Bermuda, Toronto, Newfoundland and am currently living in Winnipeg. Thinking back to al those places I've lived in, I wondered what place I wished I never lived in...the answer: none. I would not trade any of the experences I had in those places for the world. I can honestly say that without living in all of those places I would nnot be who I am today. I tried to imagine what life would be like if I grew up in the same house, lived in the same place and never had to deal with moving. Well for starters, I would not have experenced some amazing ministry oppritunities, I wouldn't of learned so early how important it is to depend on God, and I wouldn't have had the chance to meet some amazing people who mean the world to me. So basicly everything I am sure of now- would not exist. I guess the real reason I hate moving is because i can't see the out come. I don't know what is going to happen or what life will be like. I tend to worry a lot ( that is a hudge understatement) and the future is scarry especialy when we don't know what cards we have in our hand. I like history, and I like to read. Maybe it's because I can analyse what has already happened and I know the out come. The past seems safter - becuase we know what happened and got through it. I guess for the future, thats where trust comes in. Good thing God is in controle of that. I'm glad its not up to me. All I have to do is follow.
