Who I am

Hidden journaling - Up until recently I don't know if I truly knew who I was...Sure, I knew I was a daughter, sister, wife, mom, friend, Christian, scrapper, and a thousand other things depending on what my circumstances were at any given time. But I didn't truly know myself or what I wanted out of life or where I wanted my life to go...I think it is because I have always been one of those people who always wnated more than I happened to have at any given moment...better looks, better job, more friends, more money, bigger house, better clothes...Even though I seemed to "have it all."...wonderful husband, two beautiful sons, great house, incredible friends, comfortable lifestyle...and yet I found myself yearning for more...Little did I know that my soul was striving for REAL contentment... One early morning this past March, I was enlightened as to how great my life really is. Nothing big or life changing happened, just a realization that my life is good...REALLY good. I had kissed my husband and five year old son goodbye...I was in sweats, a big baggy t-shirt that I had slept in, my hair a mess and my two year old begging his Momma to push him in the swing outside. Normally at 8:15 in the morning I would have told him to wait a little while...but for some reason I said ok...I put him in his swing and stood there pushing him and singing him a little song...Suddenly he threw back his head and laughed out loud...one of those deep belly laughs that you can just feel the joy and happiness in. I said, "Grant, what is so funny?" He said, "I happy, Momma." So, there I stood in my sweats, t-shirt, my house was a disaster with half-painted walls and toys and laundry strewn from one end to the other...my unmowed yard had garbage strown all over....and I felt utter contentment like I had never known before and I knew....THIS is what true contentment is all about...not material possessions or showing others how good you can look or what great work you are capable of...It is the condition and thoughts of your heart that determine your happiness and contentment. So, now I know who and what make my heart happy and for the first time in my life, I know...WHO I AM.
