As I think about Thanksgiving and being around friends and family, God brought something to mind.

I can be loud. I can be an ‘overtaker’ of conversation and attention. I don’t mean to be. It’s usually not on purpose, but it’s my tendency.

And when this happens, it’s easy for me to fall into the thoughts of “Well, this is just me.” “I am who I am. If you don’t like it, sorry (not sorry).” “I’m just being true to myself.”

But wait a minute. I am who I am? God is the only one who can use “ I am who I am.”
