Faults and Weaknesses

Day 35: Am I limiting God's power in my life by trying to hide my weaknesses? What do I need to be honest about in order to help others?

Ok, so I had to take a few minutes to take a hard look at myself and admit to my weaknesses. Some are superficial and physical like the fact that I am not good at any sports, at all. Others are real weaknesses in my personality and I am not sure where the come from. I decided to do what the book says and be open and admit to some of them at least.
1. I have a bad temper, I have no idea why I have limited patience. I am mostly aggravated by other people's stupidity; what most people will let roll off their backs I sometimes harbor.
2. I can't do math...at all. I 've learned to live with it, that's why we have calculators.
3. I attempt to plan every detail of my life. I have to know the beginning and end to something, it might be why I'm so afraid of water, it just seems endless.
4. I am indecisive. I am always afraid of making the wrong decision and ask others to make my decisions for me... usually these are not major decisions.
5. My biggest flaw: I am afraid of failure. I think that if I try something and fail I'll look like an idiot and people will think less of me, mostly I will think less of myself. Yes I know failure is not trying at all but I can't seem to wrap my head around that concept. I have however learned to take more risks.
6. I am not the most open person on the planet. I am very independent almost to a flaw. Yes I'll tell you my opinion on something in a heartbeat but very few people get to know me. I am a private person and I don't like too many people in my life, space, face because I think they may use it against me. Yes I have a wall, and I LIKE IT!
Then again if I was that closed I wouldn't be telling the cyberworld all of this would I?

So there you have it, my flaws and weaknesses. You may look at my list and laugh or think I'm weird and need a shrink but I don't care. I'm just being real about me, you might want to try it and come back to planet earth.

Now as for how this posed be used to help others, I have no idea. If this helps you then great, let me know.
