Who I Am

[HazelWings]

So I've been feeling pretty low the past few days. I feel like every important aspect of my life is out of my control right now. I'm in a state of limbo and there's nothing I can do at this point but wait and pray. My dating life has been depressing as well since most men I come across want a fashion plate who has never been married and doesn't have kids. It's as if I'm a misfit and the man who understands me and wants me doesn't exist.

So I started thinking about the positives in my life, and what I AM.

I am:
usually an optimist, a good person, a good mother, caring, compassionate, easy going, an artist, a runner, hard working, silly, neurotic, thoughtful, goal oriented, emotional, Christian, friend, sister, daughter, granddaughter.


So now I ask: Who are you?

This is because "most men" wouldn't be worthy of you. It's not that you're a misfit at all, but rather you and the kids are so precious that it won't be a common man, or a common relationship.

Been where you are, and believe me, I hate NOT knowing the plan, but just remember Jeremiah 29:11.

Marvellous thread idea, bravo to those who have actively contributed so far :] It's quite interesting to see how people define themselves.

<< because that's the default when you want to say something but can't actually word it in a pleasing manner.

I basically pulled this from my therapy notes.

Spoiler: who I am

I am not my hobbies, nor am I my belief.
I'm changeable, hypocritical, a human being.
Piffle, balderdash, a complete aeolist.
Who I am right now has been created through who I have been, who I will be in the future is shaped through my present actions.
Descriptively i'm a collection of -tives, but I am not them, they are not me.
I am not a list of buzzwords.

I think this is a great thread too. We don't talk about the positive things we have and do. I guess its always easier to say the negative rather then the positive things we have, but need to encourage each other to show and express the positive more. Also Hazel I hope that you feel better soon. I can understand how life can be at times but with the way you described yourself I know you will get through it with grace!

Speaking of which I did not answer this question someone asked me (you know who you are) so here it is now.

I am:
Extremely hardworking, too positive at times, hopeful, helpful, patient (more so with children), artistic, good listener, goofy, funny, dreamer, forgiving, teacher, student, daughter, sister, friend, passionate, jumbled with emotions and most of the time I can control them and others I can't (eek), respectful, perfectionist, observer of many things, generous, sensitive, trustworthy, stubborn to the bone eek (x2), love God, and mostly I am for some reason given the gift of being around children...many, many, many children. Those kids drive me crazy and make me want to be better at the same time.

p.s dancer (ish---not really).

 

[Nanopants]

Fascinating.

I am: a little dazed and confused, not afraid, not my own, free falling, a bit of a scoundrel (but mostly for laughs), a bit of a hustler (give me a chance and I will clean the table), and a giver.

This thread reminds me of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's line in his poem "who am I"

"Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine.
Whoever I am, Thou knowest, 0 God, I am Thine!"

 

[VintageDon]

Oh, and I forgot:

I am a hopeless romantic who wears his heart on his sleeve, committed to outreach and the Kingdom, too trusting most of the time and unwilling to change, mischievous, patient, easy going, optomistic, scarred and broken, dreamer, driven, guitarist, worshiper, faithful, overthinker, social, private, good listener, teacher, introspective, foodie, minister, teacher ...

I've also struggled to define myself in the past. But over time I've realised that the things which give me the most confidence, the things which I rely upon when I'm feeling down, are:

1. I am loved by God - this is most important, and is the only thing that will never let me down.
2. I am loved by my parents and by my friends.
3. I have a job which I love, which I'm good at, and which I can use to help people.

if God called you to be a missionary doctor would you heed?

Quick to [laugh, say the wrong thing and sing]
Forgiven, saved, redeemed, loved, disciplined, changed and convicted by my Savior

Organized and creative
Created to... [worship] [tell it like it is] [love children]
Upbeat, logical, realistic, imaginative, naive, responsible, girly, book lover, traveler, loyal, snarky, plain, average

[lostaquarium]

Yeah I would I've thought about it a lot in the past, and I don't think missionary work is where my talents lie, but I definitely would go if God wanted me to.

 

[Sanctified]

First and foremost, I am ...

Forgiven
Beloved
Hidden in Christ
Made in His image
Reborn
Remade
Accepted
Worthy

I'm also ...
Compassionate, respectful, generous, and mostly positive.

HW - what Don said is SO accurate. As a single mom, you don't need OR deserve just any old guy. You need someone extraordinary and truly sent into your life by God, to love not only you, but your children, as his own. I honestly didn't think anyone like that existed, but I believe I've been proven wrong by God, after much waiting and loneliness and testing. The wait isn't easy, but for you AND your childrens' sake... it IS worth it.

 

[Inkachu]
