you 10 years ago...

over the weekend chris and i had an interesting talk: how would the you of 10 years ago view you the you of today, and why?

its an interesting thing to think about.

i know for myself that the most obvious thing the me of 10 years ago would wonder is why i'm so much more withdrawn than i was back then. the thought of singing a solo at my highschool graduation makes me want to freak out today, and yet it was no big deal back then. the thought of leading a bible study and being part of a ministry team to college students makes me want to run back inside and close the doors, and yet i did it for a couple years in college. i used to hang out with my friends and do fun impulsive things. nowadays i enjoy just hanging out with my birds in the comfort of my own home. yes, the me of 10 years ago would shake her head and say "what happened to her"???

at any rate, i just find this concept to be fascinating.

when you have a moment give it a try and think about it in your own life. you may surprise yourself with the changes, or you may be the same person as then but just a little older. i'd love to hear any thoughts you may have if you are willing to share!
