Who Am I
You would think it would be easy to answer the question who are you/who am I. I mean I’m me I should know this answer. I don’t have the answer. I have this hang up when it comes to this question.
You see I’ve always labeled myself (single mom, Christian, work at home mom, etc) but those are exactly that – labels and nothing more. Sure they have lots to do with the person I am but I don’t know who I am. (did that confuse you? lol)
If I take away those labels and think about that phrase (who am I/who are you) I sit staring into thin air with this glazed look in my eyes. Because honestly I feel like I can’t answer. I don’t think I truly know who I am.
I’ve spent so many years of my life as a people pleaser, always doing doing doing to make everyone happy. Everyone but me that is. I’ve spent years in relationships that were bad all because I thought I had to have a man in my life so it was better to have a bad relationship than no relationship. I’ve spent years seeking this and that thinking that once I achieved this or that I’d be happy. I’ve spent years going up and down in my weight because I’ve thought if only I was skinnier….
So in other words I’ve spent all these years doing this-n-that, seeking this-n-that, looking here-n-there and everywhere for this-n-that thinking that somewhere along the way I’d figure out who I was. But I haven’t.
I’m embarking on the journey of finding out who I am…again. This time it’s with a different mindset. It’s not about who I want to be or what others want me to be. It’s about what God wants me to be. What He has planned and purposed for me to be. It wasn’t an accident that I was created, He had a plan and purpose way back then and He still has that plan and purpose today!
A remarkable woman that I’m blessed to know (not personally but virtually) has created a course titled Pathways to Authentic Living. It goes along with everything I’m working on right now and the lessons are powerful and make me do lots of soul searching! The price for the course is reasonable and I highly recommend that you Click here and start your change today!

You go girl, best of luck on becoming the women God wants you to be. I am lost right now but hopeful I will find a church home to help get me on the path to becoming the mother and wife God wants me to be.

Way to go Tish… Time to let go of those titles and find who you really are.. I struggle with this as well, as I often try to be the person others want me to be… I’d love to check out that course, but the link was broken..

Bobbi – I’ll be praying that you find a church home. I’ve learned over the years since becoming a Christian back in 2001 that if there’s one thing I can’t do it’s NOT be a part of a church family. It’s so important to have that fellowship with other believers. Thanks for your comment.
Teressa – Thank you for commenting. Sorry about the broken link I fixed it (just a reminder I need to check that stuff before posting lol). I emailed you with the link that works.
