Whenever I would go somewhere, my Dad would say,"Remember who you are." What he was teaching me was that I was going out representing our family and who I was and what I stood for. I didn't become a Christian until I was 20 and now that quote has even more significance to me knowing who I am in Christ. There are many times, no matter where I am or what I'm doing that I have to "remember who I am". <BR/><BR/>I now say it to my children. Kind of drives them crazy - it did me too! I'm really thankful for all the times I heard it though. <BR/><BR/>Love those journals:)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419455608896457072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845574752812091685.post-74647684261484327832008-12-03T09:53:00.000-05:002008-12-03T09:53:00.000-05:00"If you can't be a good example, you'll just have ..."If you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a horrible warning."
