Who Am I?
I got to thinking one day last week Who Am I? The question sat on my heart and mind all day and while waiting for some friends to arrive at a restaurant I started to write this....
As a mom, wife, sister, daughter, aunt, sunday school teacher,team manager, friend etc... sometimes I feel like I'm not sure who I really am anymore. One of my goals as a person is to be truly authentic and consistent. I think I'm authentic but I know I'm not successful in the consistency part.
Sometimes I just feel all over the place. Who am I? How did I get here? Why am I here? I feel like a shell of who I used to be....but then again who was I? Was I or am I the same person as I was back then? Has life changed me for the better? I think not?! I feel like I have grown tremendously in some areas but can't ever seem to get out of the rut in others. I seem stay focused on the "others".
If I am like this, how can I be a mother to my kids and teach them to live? I don't even know what I'm doing or who I am?!?!? As I said before, I feel like I lack consistency. People on the outside have a distorted view of who I am. But is that person I am?
That's as far as I got..... I just feel like I get lost in all the hats I wear and I'm not sure what that means, how to take it, or if I should even care.....

Oohh, I wish you had kept going with this. I am very much there. Let me know what you come up with. I think the right answer is the more we focus on WHOSE we are, we become more and more who we are, but hey, the right answer isn't always the easy answer, or the one that I know how to make happen.
