I was here!

Wow..who am I and why am I here?  The question seems simple enough but it is so difficult for me to answer.  I guess I am still trying to figure out who I am and what God’s purpose is for my life. So much of how I define myself depends on how others view me.  I am the responsible partner, the reliable co-worker, the caring sister and the loving mother.   Many times I feel as if I fall short in many categories in my life.  I feel that I can  be a better friend, a more committed partner and a more involved parent but I don’t always know how to juggle it all without breaking down.  Sometimes I feel that I already give so much of myself physically, financially and emotionally to others that I don’t have enough left over for “me.”   I even feel selfish when I think about doing something strictly for myself or by myself.  Well, I think the reason why I want to start blogging is because it is something that I get to do for myself without feeling apologetic about it.  I get to express my opinion and share my worldview with others.  Yes it’s a little bit scary, but it is also freeing and will allow me to do something selfish for a change.  I just want to let the world know that I AM HERE…
