who are you?

Seems like Forever since I posted last at least a year, today I am reminded of life. I am reminded of choices we make and how they affect our lives. I had a scenario yesterday that made me glad that I am the honest caring person I am. I say this because I had interaction with someone from my past. A past I would like to forget and a past I want to be done with.  However, because of the person I am, I desired to do the right thing. What I felt was the right thing. However In order to do that I had to pick up the phone and talk to someone I truly felt betrayed by. Someone who the thought of makes me shake and by the tone of their voice has always been able to get me to allow the adversary in and run my Brain in a million directions. Making me think I am less then I am. That I am worthless and a waste of skin.  
 well...this call was no diffrent. It felt like I was in my early twenties and every bad feeling and emotion came flooding back as soon as that tone came on the phone. I felt the need to prove I was different, that I was trying to change that he didn't know me  anymore. However, I had a moment of clarity. Not that the call didn't affect my mood but I truly know I did the right thing. I don't feel bad about it and today I truly feel that just because they are mean that I need to move forward  and know that I did the right thing. This morning I feel Impowered that someday I will have to answer  for my actions and so will this person and I feel content in my interaction that I took the higher ground. I am by no means thinking I am perfect but I do think that the Lord gives us trials to make us better and to help us turn in to the women and men we are meant to be. We are allowed to be tested  in order to learn the lessons. So we can prove to ourselves that we learned the lesson. I think it is important to tech each other what it is to assess a situation after the fact. I find it is important that we go back and truly think is the actions I took really the best way for me to behave. If I was treated the way I treated that person would I be happy? Would I feel valued. In this situation looking back I was pleased that I did all I could to be me. The true me, the me that is a wife and someday a mother. The me that I have to look in the mirror everyday and decide if I am the best me I can be.  I know as of today I am. As of my prayers this morning I am, today brings a new day and new challenges but I know the Lord is my Father and he loves me. He would move mountains if it is what I needed to learn and become more like him. So I leave you with these questions.... 

Are you the best you? Is there something you can or should change about yourself ? Is there someone you have wronged? Can you make it right? That is what I want you to think about..... who are you?
