The opportunity of a lifetime is to pick yourself. Quit waiting to get picked; quit waiting for someone to give you permission; quit waiting for someone to say you are officially qualified... and pick yourself.

American Author, Speaker and Entrepreneur
I wasn't the kid picked last at recess, maybe in the middle?, but there were always the kids picked last...and we all knew who they would be. What a novel concept from Seth Godin to be proactive and choose yourself! At the heart of that self-choice is a profound acceptance of who you are, embracing yourself as you know yourself to be. In Christian worship, we confess our sins--and I like to think we lay before God far more than a laundry list of sins--but rather our whole selves --all that we are. We "confess" ourselves like breathing in and out--life depends on it. Can we lay our full selves before God -- find and know God's full acceptance by grace--and with it, choose to be who we are in the world? Choose yourself as you have been chosen by God. It's a game, life-script, that we all win at.
