I'm struggling with the idea of being authentically transparent. Being real with how one is feeling and to show others the deepest and darkest secrets is the hardest thing in the world to do. As a pastor-in-training I struggle with this. How can I ask other's to be the thing that I can't even do myself? I have created a facade, a mask, something that makes me look one way when really I'm angry and bitter inside.

I want to be the same on the inside as I am on the outside....what you see is what you get.....I think that the only place where that is attainable is when your identity is fully founded in who God has created us to be....it is not an easy task but I am determined to search after it.
