I AM

My boss found this today to use in his lifegroup, but we had to try it out first. It’s an awesome exercise – spiritually, emotionally and mentally. I dare you to try it…..it’s most definitely a workout for your heart – and you just might get some revelation on yourself. I’ve included mine below the instructions.

I AM Poem



FIRST STANZA

I am (two special characteristics you have)

I wonder (something you are actually curious about)

I hear (an imaginary sound)

I see (an imaginary sight)

I want (an actual desire)

I am (the first line of the poem repeated)



SECOND STANZA



I pretend (something you actually pretend to do)

I feel (a feeling about something imaginary)

I touch (an imaginary touch)

I worry (something that really bothers you)

I cry (something that makes you very sad)

I am (the first line of the poem repeated)



THIRD STANZA

I understand (something you know is true)

I say (something you believe in)

I dream (something you actually dream about)

I try (something you really make an effort about)

Manthie’s I Am Poem



I am a passionate woman with a unique voice.



I wonder how I’m doing, if I’m living to my full potential.



I hear cries of the heart.



I see hope, as if it’s tangible, like I can touch it.



I want someone to hold me, to hold my hand, to hold my heart – tenderly.



I am a passionate woman with a unique voice.





I pretend I’m strong when I’m weak; I’m happy when I’m sad; I’m holding it all together when if feels like it’s falling apart – or I used to.



I feel the sun on my face.



I touch hearts, hands, minds.



I worry that I’ll mess it all up.



I cry in the presence of the Lord.



I am a passionate woman with a unique voice.





I understand the meaning of redemption.



I say that everything is purposeful.



I dream of making a difference.



I try to be better today than yesterday.



I hope for everything.



I am a passionate woman with a unique voice.
