I have been accused of being random, inappropriate, and strange. The truth is I am all those and so much more. Thoughts pop into my head constantly that I am wise enough to bite my lip and keep from saying. Think of it as part of my charm not a character flaw. Why couldn’t I be that person who thought kind, appropriate thoughts rather than the weirdness that is my brain?
For years I prayed for God to make me gentle and kind rather than my loud, random self. But He revealed to me that this is who I am. I wasn’t wired to be quiet and passive. Although I admire those that are, it is not my goal to be who I’m not. So here I sit with thoughts swirling in my brain. Some I let slip through my lips and some I put in the ‘do not share’ category. Of course, it depends on who I am with that determines the tightness of my sealed lips. There are those that get a whole lot more of crazy thinking Barbara than others. They may wish they were in the other category at times. But one should consider it a compliment when I spout off the not so refined brain farts that I think on a regular basis.
Luckily, I have never been jailed for my brain or my words. They are harmless. Just a bit ridiculous and unconventional. God uses each of us in our own unique ways. So here is to connecting with someone over a slipped comment. Yes, I will challenge you to join me in my world of oddities. So come on. What do you think that screams……….why am I even wondering about this? Filters, Barbara, filters is what my not so tolerant hubby says when I dance to close to the line.
In Him,
Joyful
