Costumes

 Today I will show you pictures of a party that we had for the kids of the EBI when I was in Atlanta, I think this party was in 2005, because we had other ones.

As you all know, to make the kids happy we need to be creative, so I arranged with some pastors’ wives and some assistants to disguise ourselves as “dolls”, to help during the event, were each church would do their presentation.

I remember that we had as much fun as the kids or even more, with our improvised doll costumes.

Taking advantage of the costume topic, I wanted to tell you that many times attitudes come disguised or hidden behind an excuse, analyze your own:

-       Sometimes fear comes disguised as “I don’t like doing that”, or “I don’t need that”; but the truth is that you don’t want to face your fear.

-       Pride may come disguised by the person thinking that she is being realistic or correct and that is why her attitude is justified.

-       Shyness may be disguised as an excuse “I rather hear than speak”, I remember I used to say this, the truth is that I couldn’t confront my shyness; don’t allow yourself to be manipulated by your feelings.

-       Accommodation also disguises itself, “I don’t need to do that, someone will do it for me”

-       Not controlling your tongue also has its disguise, “I don’t speak too much, I’m simply sincere and speak what I think”

You all can observe that the person doesn’t want to confront her defects and that is why they prefer to make up a name for them, so that it seems as if it were not a problem.

So see things as they are and that way you will be able to eliminate them from your life and overcome them, otherwise you will continue the same way, trying to cover up the reality.

Lets be mindful of those disguises.

Here are the pictures for you to laugh a little!!!
