How would others describe you?

Our Daily Bread
I am afraid to ask how others would describe me at times.  When talking to my boss yesterday, he joked that he went "Duane" on some folks in a meeting. He explained in an annoyed fashion in the meeting the same stuff over and over and no one would take notes or try to understand.  Lord have mercy.  I joked back "You are young.  Save yourself..."  hahaha  Oh well.  I am working on it.  Dealing with frustrating situations is probably my worst thing.  ;-(

So how would people describe you?  There have been studies done to help people understand the discrepancy between how they see themselves and how others see them.  Very interesting.  Very scary to me!  ha!  The discrepancy we should really concern ourselves with is the one between how we act and how God wants us to act!  He gave us a very specific way to treat each other -- like we would treat ourselves!  Wow!

Lord, please help us be the folks you want us to be!

The song for this week is Love take me over by Steven Curtis Chapman. It is another one of my morning songs!  I hope and pray I can live this song!

"Love Take Me Over"

I hear the clock beep, pull me out of my sleep
Tell me there's a day ahead of me
Trying to wake up, sipping on a hot cup
With the little lady in green

And I'm praying 'bout the man I wanna be
Saying, God, please take all of me
And fill me up with Your love

Love, take these words that I'm speaking
Love, take these thoughts that I'm thinking
Love, take me over
Love, fill up all of my space and
Love, stand right here in my place
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me over

This is what I'm sure of, I can only show love
When I really know how loved I am
When it overtakes me, then it animates me
Flowing from my heart into my hands

So I'm praying, Father, help my heart believe
That right now You're singing over me
And fill me up with Your love

Love, take these words that I'm speaking
Love, take these thoughts that I'm thinking
Love, take me over
Love, fill up all of my space and
Love, come stand right here in my place
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me over

(Take me over, take me over)
Let Your never-ending, never-failing, all-consuming love
Take over me

So I am praying, Father, help my heart believe
That right now You're singing over me
And fill me up with Your love

Love, take these words that I'm speaking
Love, take these thoughts that I'm thinking
Love, take me over
Love, fill up all of my space and
Love, stand right here in my place
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying
Love, take everything that I'm doing
Love, like a river, flow through me
Love, take me over

Love, fill up all of my space and
Love, stand right here in my place
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me over
