This weekend I found out what the biggest personality difference, from my humanly understanding, between me and the Lord is (with the exception of Divinity and all that Good stuff, of course). I don't like confrontation. From my understanding not many do. But I really don't like it. It is uncomfortable. It's simply easier to try to live in "harmony" by putting up with my faults or the faults of other's instead of taking it out into the open, from the littlest of things like a pet-peeve of your's a friend, acquaintance, or otherwise unknowingly or knowingly likes to pick at, or the deepest of problems you don't want other's to notice (whether you don't want to illuminate your weaknesses, burden others with them, or pay attention to them altogether).
This is not so with my God. He would rather uproot these problems than leave them buried deep. He would rather be on the inside than be on the surface. At least this rings true for me, that He would want the very core of me, rather than the surface of my emotions or problems. Over the years I've found that He Loves. His desire is Freedom. Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, Etc. Freedom. It's kind of His thing.
I felt that this post is relative to the purpose of this blog because this is something I need to overcome to become who I need to be. Put simply, I need to confront my confrontational problem. I don't mean to ignore who I am. I think it is agreeable to say that it is not bad to avoid confrontation, but I do need balance.
Anyway, I don't really know how to get where I need to go, but I do suppose admitting the problem is the first step to cure, right? ... Yeah, looks like the winds are changing...
