INAM

I am tempted by "my way." I think it started when I was a kid. Unfortunately, it's grown up with me. I really wanna kick it, so I've been praying & thinking about what to do. It's a start, but I came up with an acronym to doodle, say aloud & maybe get inked on me: "INAM," or
I
t's
Not About Me.
It's not about me when I am at home, at work, at church or in traffic. It's not about me with my spouse, kids, friends or enemies. As long as I'm here, it's not about me. I will be at my best when I am not full of myself. It's Not About Me because It Was Never About Him.

Love the new word. It's going at the top of my journal with Pastor Troy's new word, reinvisionate. I feel so blessed that you have been placed into my journey to motivate me, inspire me and to keep my eyes, heart and ears open. It may not be about YOU, but I thank Him for you!!

"It's not about me"...I forget that many times. Trying not to though. I would hate to live a life where it's about me instead of Him...that would be such a waste.

Great post, Heather! So memorable. I enjoy your blog for your humor, transparency, and the simple way you present a challenge to apply the Truth of the Bible. I'm going to tweet a link to this post, so many can benefit from this reminder. :o)

Reminds me of the first line in "The Purpose Driven Life"..It's not about you" To tell you the truth that was like a good ole slap in the face when I first read that..But as I read on, it opened my eyes to the bigger picture..Slow process but He's working on me everyday to get over myself..Like Paul said..I have to die daily..Amen to that..
