Being Human

I have been watching a BBC tv show called “Being Human”. The following quote is from episode 4 season 1: “You can piss your whole life away, trying out who you might be. It’s when you’ve worked out who you are that you can really start to live.”

Can I get an AMEN?!

Apply this to your life. When we are children, we grow up in our parents environment. When we move out, many teens/young adults struggle with figuring out who they are. They “experiment”. That’s the buzz word, right? It seems like we really don’t start to figure out who we are ‘really are’ until our late 40’s early 50’s. I know this can vary by person/personality. 

I have always been envious of people who knew from the time they were children that they wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, or cop. I’ve never had such ambitions. Or have I?

I’ve watched/read stories about women who have had complete melt downs because of menopause; loosing their ability to have children. Their identity is being a mom. Likewise with men who are having erectile disfunction, that is how they identify being a man. 

What is your identity? Can you stand with your feet firmly planted on the ground and say (fill in your answer here); I am a Christian. I am a sinner saved by grace. I am a woman. You might be a man. I am …….?
