Stand Up

I'm learning. I'm learning that I have a certain set of callings, and the older I get, the more aware I am becoming of what they are. This post is about one of them.

This life mission has 2 ingredients. The first has to do with the fact that I've always known that I love people. All people at first. Then as they're weeded out - the good from the evil - I keep the good ones close in my heart. And there are lots of good ones. :)

The second ingredient is a deep-seated need for justice and fairness. (See post on this here: "Diary of a Crazy Cajun Lady."). There are few things that can really get me riled up, and most of the time people would consider me pretty meek & mild. But if I judge something to be either partially or entirely unfair - especially something that directly affects me or one of the above mentioned beloved - I can be quite the little pepper.

When these two come together, they can be explosive. In my heart of hearts I feel an incredible urge to push others to love themselves enough to fight for fairness in their own lives. Simply stated, I need to encourage people to stand up for themselves - because frankly, it's tiring to fight for justice 24/7 on others' behalf (Superman). You might think, "Well, Stacie, you don't have to do that," but you'd be wrong. I do.
