Randomness

WOW!!! I was looking back to see how long it had been since I blogged...and it has been a LONG time!  The world of "Twitter" and "Facebook" kind of takes away the person behind the one-liner status updates that are sent out by the millions on a daily basis.  Don't get me wrong... I get a laugh when I hear a friend "just saw a really big lizard" or that another friend "ate the best food she ever had", but I miss personality, emotions, and seeing growth and change.

So, to be totally random, as my thoughts usually are.... I woke up this morning thinking about change and about who I have become and who I want to be.  I was watching a show before bed last night and a woman was asked to describe herself in one word.  I started thinking that I would never be able to do that.  I can't think of one thing that defines everything that I am. This is where it got really cheesy (at least I think so).

I all of a sudden started smiling and just felt happy from head to toe that I could not define myself in one word.  I was absolutely elated at this idea!!!!  See, I have been criticized in the past for not being content with a job or needing to always change my environments, etc.  I always knew that there was nothing wrong with striving to always be something better (and I do not mean by the way of success or riches) but people made me feel that in order to be a mature adult that I needed to be consistent and predictable.

I will always change, not to suit others, but to suit whatever role it is that God places me in.  I have known for a long time that God has gifted me with very intense passion and empathy for people, as well as leadership abilities. However, I have come to learn that God created me with an unquenchable desire to do many things and be many things (and I think this better prepares me for His purpose for me and His Kingdom). Content is not in my vocabulary!

So..here it is....this is what I am in MANY, MANY words (and BEWARE... I may be a whole new set of words next month):

Changeling, never content but always seeking to grow the way God intends, sometimes hyper, sometimes boring, sometimes defiant, sometimes down right fun, artistic, creative, deeply loving, very passionate, motivated...DID I SAY CREATIVE and ARTISTIC???? Christian, Disciple, leader, moody, ever-evolving, mother, sister, daughter, wife, and the list goes on and on!

I think God probably had to wipe the sweat off His brow when he made me....and then thought what a handful I was going to be!!!!!

I love being me!
