I am who I AM!!

I was reading Kelly's Korner blog today and she wrote a post about things she wishes were different about herself.  I decided to do this so I could "reference" it and see if any of these changed over the years.

* I am a total sap....as in cry way too easily at movies, sad stories, other people crying, etc.  I personally think this comes along with motherhood!

* I am a total control freak.  I have learned to let go of some things BUT this is still a MAJOR work in progress.

* I wish my house was far more organized than it is.  I am trying to get this under control(reference control freak above) but between work, keeping up with two kids, spending time with our families and taking care of our marriage....organization comes a dead last!!  I did however get my closet cleaned out and organized yesterday...got rid of 7 trash bags full of clothes, shoes and purses I never use/wear.  On the plus side...I found $120 in a purse I haven't used in forever!!

* I need to learn to let go of more of these "control" issues so I can focus on my kids.

* I too wish I could wear work out clothes and look "cute" instead of frumpy.

* I wish I would get more organized so I would have more time for crafty things like photography, scrapbooking, etc.

*I am not a fashionable person by any means....and I wish I was!

* I start way too many craft projects and take forever to finish them!

* I am a procrastinator at heart...most of the time...maybe because of my lack of organization!!  Ha!  I see a pattern developing here.

* Deep down...I worry about what people think of me... and I wish I didn't.

* I want to spend more daily quiet time with Him.  This too is a work in progress!

I am who I am ... and that's exactly who He meant for me to be.  I do hope that some of these "issues" will be improved upon.  But until then...I am going to continue to thank God for giving me a smart head to rest upon these strong, broad shoulders.  I am not perfect and I never claimed to be.
