I recognize that craving such an outward appearance is utterly prideful. The Spirit reminds me to find my identity in Christ, not in a façade of capability and certainly not in others' opinions of me.

I must swim crosscurrent and make life choices, not for the crowd, but rather and rightly only - as my Bible - teacher friend Wendy Pope states at the close of all her emails - for an audience of One.
