Who I am when I look into the mirror~
I think I struggle with this most of all. How I view myself. What others view me as.
Who do I want to be and what do I want my child to learn from me.
Each day I have the same prayers and give the same praise. I'm highly blessed that my family is healthy, I'm blessed that I have the family and friends I have and we love each other very much. I'm blessed that God has taken me on a journey and at times I'm scared out of my mind but there he is, to always calm me down and comfort me.
So who am I?
I'm stubborn, I'm scared, I worry non stop, I don't think I'm attractive, I have crazy out of control hair, I'm self conscious and I believe I can be very mean. I am insecure, i route for the underdog, I have crazy anger, I find humor in the funniest and oddest of things, I have complete compassion and I am almost always this complex every day of my life.
I work on things daily, ask for forgiveness daily and try to simply love daily.
Who I am, is a work in progress, a journey, a life time of learning, and lose, gaining, sharing, and loving.
What I see daily is a mother, daughter, sister, girlfriend, lover, nurturer, and unapologetically a Christian.

Like I told Blake, Im glad we're friends. Youve given me lots of support over the past year especially when it came to myself personally and most importantly my mothering skills. I appreciate that more than you know.
and... I'll never believe that you are mean. LOL ;)

What's funny is when I saw your picture I thought, "Man, she has nice hair".
It's hard to always throw your burden on God like we're supposed to, but when we do, he sure comforts us, doesn't he?
You sure seem cool, Jen, I'm glad to know you.

Jen - you are truely amazing! You have no clue how much you mean to others. You are selfless - not mean! You are a great friend to many people - you spread yourself way to thin - quite oftenly. We have so much in common sometimes it is scary to me. I am so darned greatful to you - you have improved my life in so many , many ways. I can never repay you for the gifts you have bestowed upon me - thank you sweet Jen!
