Amazing People

From Facebook, in 2006... wow.. I still agree with what I said, though.


People dont realize how amazing they are. Every person who I have gotten to know.. i mean REALLY gotten to know- people who dont put on a face or feel like they need to become someone else... have all been absolutely amazing. I dont understand the need to try to be someone else. This fixation on being accepted by the masses, or even friends (even if.. as college students we dont want to call it "fitting in") is so utterly ridiculous if it causes us to change who we are.
I cannot think of one single person that, after getting to know the real them, I have not absolutely loved. I am sometimes blown away by amazing people.. even more so when they dont realize how wonderful they are. I have a few specific friends whom I have really gotten to know, and see that they do not understand thier worth. It is one of my deepest desires: to make people see this.
I am loving being able to observe people as they become comfortable with who they are and getting to know them. this is new for me... God completely changed my heart when it came to people. Last year, I was... not antisocial.. but perfectly fine not making the effort to see or talk to people. and if God had asked me if I wanted to become a "people person" i would have said a resounding "NO!".... but He didnt ask... haha.. and completely changed my heart over the summer. I came back to school with this passion to get to know people... and I have been so blessed by it. its just funny how God does stuff like that.
I just pray that God continues to reveal how "fearfully and wonderfully made" ever person is.. all of this may sound cheesy and obvious... but it was new to me... especially this new people person thing... hm...
