where do you come from.

A friend commented to me once:
"...you have got this skillful ability to creatively transform in your appearance, bringing forward a section of your visible personality, like an other part of the coloring of a rainbow. Sometimes you got me looking twice, before I see it is You! :)"

From Wikipedia:
Social identity is a theory formed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner to understand the psychological basis of intergroup discrimination. It is composed of four elements:
Categorization: We often put others (and ourselves) into categories. Labeling someone a Muslim, an Emo or a soccer player are ways of saying other things about these people.
Identification: We also associate with certain groups (our ingroups), which serves to bolster our self-esteem.
Comparison: We compare our groups with other groups, seeing a favorable bias toward the group to which we belong.
Psychological Distinctiveness: We desire our identity to be both distinct from and positively compared with other groups.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, ...."
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
(Genesis 1:26a-27

To be me is to journey in deeper with my Creator.
Another friend said, if God wants a water melon He gives it six months,
but if god wants an oak it might take 60 years.

It's not so much about fitting or not fitting in to boxes
but I think it's natural to dress to my mood or occasion
or reflecting the thing I'm doing at the moment.

Paul writes:
Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I didn't take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I've become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn't just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!
(1 Cor. 9:19-23 MSG)

I think I'd like to more live in a way that I would be able to be present and meet with people.
I would like to be able to express Christ to all people, to let them feel that they are
in the centre of His love.

And I'm looking forward to grasp even deeper that my identity is in Christ,
and in Him in all things redeemed to him.
