This Is Me...?

i'm a mother, sister, daughter,
friend, a lover, and Christ's own.

i am compassionate, loving and have a heart for others,
sincere, thoughtful and a tad insecure.

i like to be active, creative, and inspired.

i am hormonal, teary eyed, and emotional especially with our adoption.

when I drive, I like to think, pray, cry, talk out loud, and sing all at full volume.

i like noise, and peace and quiet.

i like busyness around me yet calmness in my heart.

i don't like seasons changing too soon, laundry too often and food too burnt.

i prefer my pets outside or in a tank, water over coffee, and sitting next to a fireplace rather than across from it.

i need human contact, my chaos organized, and chocolate chips in my cupboard.

i enjoy baking, cutting the grass, biking, exercising, and the odd book that friends tell me to read.

i don't watch CSI, or any show that contents anything morbid...I get really bad dreams and I just don't understand society obsession with death.

i want to wake up before my kids each morning, messages on my voicemail when I come home and fresh cut flowers picked for me just because.

i choose to be friendly, care about others, ask others questions rather than making the convesation about me.

i dream someday i'll design our house, work overseas in an orphanage, get my Master's in counselling and not live in regret.

i do regret misunderstandings, things i have done to others to hurt them, and not communicating my reasons and feelings because I thought others were more important.

i miss Bad Boy(our waiter at Perkins on our 3am run), my roommates who loved me for me and laughed at my jokes, 4 closets of clothes to wear.

i am thrilled i'll never be pregnant again, even though I mess up my hubby adores me, and I can't freakin' wait to be an auntie again this WEEK!

i love walking in the first snow fall of the year, hand in hand, talking with friends all hours of the night around a campfire, knowing that i am loved.

i don't like to be told what to do, agressive drivers and eating Oreo's because they make me self-conscious with black crumbs in my teeth.

i count points, choose healthy habits and desire to pass on God's love to my kids.

i loved living in dorm, Bible school, and stretching in my faith but not the curfews and getting trouble for doing a couple of practical jokes and I will make no comments about the boys.

i want my kids to know they are loved, special and that God's plan is amazing and that I pray for them daily.
