How hard I work.

How many years we’ve been in Africa.

What people think of me.

How much money we have.

Degrees and education.

What I accomplish in this lifetime.

Having the perfect marriage.

Our ministry.

The way my house does or doesn’t look.

The adventures we’ve been on.

Looking a certain way.

Our knowledge of the culture.

The praise of others.

Having the perfect family.

What I did to help others.

Trying to measure up

How well we do or don’t speak the language.

Success.

Failures.

My joy and identity are in CHRIST. Nothing else.
