As I was scrolling through Facebook the other night, a memory popped up. It was November 2020, and I finally got around to watching Avengers: Endgame. Yeah, I know, I was late to the party. But to be fair, when it came out in 2019, I was still in the hospital, doing my best to recover and learning how to embrace a new normal. Anyway, the following morning, something about that movie just stuck with me, especially how Thor was portrayed.
Without getting too far into the weeds, Thor felt like a failure because of what happened in Avengers: Infinity War. He had missed the mark, and in the aftermath, he had let himself go. Badly. I mean, this wasn't the noble, shining Thor we were used to seeing. Fast forward to a scene in Endgame when Thor decides to relinquish his title as king. He says, "It’s time for me to be who I am. Not who I’m supposed to be."
That line hit me hard. It lingered in my heart until God whispered something to me the next morning. He brought me back to Thor's statement, and it prompted me to ask myself, "Who am I?"
