Who Am I?

Procrastinator. Lazy. Laid back. One who enjoys relaxing.

These are a couple of character qualities I possess. I remember back in my nursing school days I would have a month (or longer) to write a paper. Instead of using the entire month, I would research the week before and become a hermit the weekend before it was due and write the entire thing. (Who wants to spend four weekends writing when it really only takes one?) Well, the same thing has happened with this blog. I usually start thinking about my blog posts on Tuesday.

I also have realized that I work well with a deadline. I have all kinds of projects I want to do, but if there is not a deadline (ie company coming to town, hosting Bible study, no more clothes in the drawer, blog post to write), I am not johnny on the spot to get it done.

All this to say, I have started to get things done around my house and on my project list (last night I sewed my first pair of pants). Yes, most of the things I have done have had encouragement from an outside source (thank you Today's Housewife and friends), but they are still being completed.

Over the last couple of months I have really started to take a good look at who I am on the inside. Not exactly who I want to be, but I think that is the first step toward change--noticing that there is a problem. If you have been reading for some time, you have heard the steps that I have been taking this fall through Bible studies to become the woman, wife, mother, daughter, and friend I need to be. One who is not lazy, but one who focuses on Christ and others.

And during these times when I am down on who I am I remember that God still loves me--all the good and all the bad. I love the song by Watermark, Who Am I? Love it! Meditate on the words and feel HIS love today!

Who am I

That You would love me so gently?

Who am I
That You would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I
That You would speak to me so softly?

Conversation with the Love most high,..

Who am I?
