who am i...

"i feel like i don't know much about you anymore..." - one of my good friends
" yeah, niether do i."-me

this conversation has kind of stuck in my head all day. and i feel like over the past few months i have constantly been reminded of the fact that i have no idea who i am. i know that sounds like such a cliche' thing to say...and to be honest i'm a bit embarrassed that i even said it...but it is the truth. i understand that life is about change. our circumstances are going to change, i am very aware of that. i just can't wrap my mind around how you can have a part of yourself die...and not let rest of you go with it.

so i guess i'm going to join the rest of the world on the never ending quest of self discovery.
this should be fun.

lauren - it's okay...i am 43 and still on the quest. the journey takes you through dark, scary valleys and on high, exciting mountain tops...
i will say a prayer for you right now 10:14am...

lovely lauren,

jaki is right ~ really knowing who we are is a lifelong quest. honestly, there are days when i don't know what the heck i am doing. we all go through seasons in our lives when circumstances, new beliefs, and those around us begin to change how we feel about ourselves, God, and this world.
change and uncertainty are okay ~ they're probably confusing ~ but they're part of life.

to me, the key is surrounding yourself with safe people during these unpredictable times. people who know the REAL YOU ~ the good, the bad, and the ugly. these are the ones that are gonna hang in there with you no matter what. they make the journey bearable and even enjoyable!

i love you!
