Have you ever starred in the mirror and saw more than your own reflection? In my quiet time with God, this week, I was reminded of the first time I looked past my reflection and questioned: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? My journey is about finding the authentic answers to these questions and living my life fully. Living beyond the fairytale that I have created, the expectations of others or standards that are viewed as success. I want to appreciate the reality of the life I live while striving to become all that I'm created to be. For me, this starts with honesty and self reflection. I have to embrace who I am, my flaws, my strengths, my weaknesses, likes and dislikes.
Who am I?
- A 42 year old women, who loves the Lord, has been married for 19 years, has three children that range from 23 to 15 years old, a grandmother of one, works full time in a leadership role, has returned to college to pursue a bachelor's degree, and am active in my church home.
- A women on a journey to self discovery by renewing herself spiritually, emotionally and physically.
- A women who is learning who she is, appreciating the roles she's been given: wife, mother, leader, and student but not allowing those roles to completely define her.
- A women who is seeking answers to get to the heart/soul of Who she is.
My reflection on life………”carpe diem”

ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I think it's a good idea to set back and reflect on life from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI think it is easy to get caught up in life's battles. It's nice to slow down and have time for reflection.
