Who Am I?

Well, hello all my brothers and sisters. I just wanted to write a little something that has been heavy on my heart over the past couple weeks and over the past month really. I think that some things lately have happend to self-examine myself and to find out my true self. So, in doing that I had to bring the question up to myself, "WHO AM I?"  If you would have asked me that question acouple weeks ago this is the answer I would have given you. I am Tyler Lee Schonrock. I just graduated from Blue Earth Area High School and throughly enjoy fishing, frisbee golf, football, and basically anything that involves sports. I also would have added that I am a Christian who loves his God and understands that he loves me.

Who Am I? Wow. I question that definitely has never crossed my mind before these last couple of days. Forgive me, but this post is going to be me trying to figure out myself and to find who I am. So a disclaimer there.

Anyway, I am a firm believer that the things we go through in our lives strengthens us and helps us be prepared for future endeavors. It says this in Isaiah 64:8:

"Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand."

In that verse, he compares the Lord to the potter and us as his children as the clay. Just like a hunk of clay on a pottery wheel, we need to be molded and shaped by a potter with loving and steady hands that will continually take the time to make us beautiful.

So who am I? Right now. I can tell you that I have no idea who I am. It's going to take time for the Lord to mold me into who I really am. He knows the kind of person I am now and the kind of person he wants me to be.  I know somethings about who I am though.

I know that I am an honest, compassionate, heartfelt, open, trustworthy, and a sense of humor like no other. But, I do know this....

I AM A WORK IN PROGRESS.

I am a hunk of clay that has not been fully made into that beautiful piece of pottery. God is going to take his time until each one of us is perfect to his standards. HE ISNT FINISHED WITH US YET.

Dear Father, I reach out to you this morning to ask for peace of mind as I realize that it is ok not to fully know who I am because I know that you are still molding me into the person you know that I can be and I thank you for being that continuous and steady hand in my life that cares soooo much about me that you will not stop molding me until I am completely perfect in your eyes. I love you for that, and I ask that you help us all to realize that we are all  work in progress because you are preparing us to be with you. Your love and care conquers all. Amen
