be confident and comfortable in your own skin...

i often believe i think too deep. i guess there's times when i read between the lines as well. do you ever have that problem too? but, you know the more i think about it i ask myself, "what's really so wrong with being that way?" thinking deep can take a sunrise or a sunset and turn it into something so much more meaningful than pretty, it takes it to a much deeper level. the colors of nature seem all the more vibrant. it flows into so many areas of life. now, reading between the lines can get tricky. there are some pluses and negatives. you can have a perception of someone who may have alternative motives, you can pick up on warning signals, red flags sometimes, much more quickly than others. all of this is fine, until you start questioning everything, and can't take things at face value. you also may take what someone says the wrong way.
but, to be totally honest i wouldn't want to change, just soften some of the edges. i like the way God made me. there's really not a time when i believe i am superficial. conversations go much deeper than just skin deep. thinking deep also makes you search down into your soul and not be afraid to share what you find. some are so reserved, and even stuffy to the point of never enjoying the depth. so, if you happen to be this kind of person, or maybe come close to being this way, don't look at it as bad, embrace it and be thankful for the way that God made you, and be confident and comfortable in your own skin. i know it's a process, because i am still going through the process. but, i wouldn't trade being who God made me to be for anything in the world. He made me this way for a very specific reason, as He did you. God never makes mistakes.

"And i am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you."-Philippians 1:6 (amplified version)
