Who I am

You know, I am a lot of things. I'm a mother to 3 adorable children, I am the wife to a wonderful husband, a daughter to goodly parents, a sister to amazingly good siblings, my grandfather's replacement =), and a friend to some of the most amazing people the Lord had to offer, a daughter of God, and a slave to my bad habits. I am a lot of things. Some of which that I am not proud to admit. =) But one thing stands..........I am all those things. The good and the bad all make up the person I am. I am working on the bad, but I'm confident that I will never be rid of the bad entirely.......at least on this earth. =) Some people find me annoying, some people find me nice, some people don't like me at all. I've come to terms with this. Not everyone is going to like me, and sometimes I am glad they don't. =) lol But........one thing remains. I am who I am. That doesn't change because of what someone thinks of me. I still think abortion is horrible and a sin. I still think that Obama is a fruit. I still love Ellen DeGeneres despite my disapproval with her life style. I still enjoy salt and vinegar chips on occasion, even though they make my breath smell bad. =) I still feel strongly about letting those people you love, know it. I believe in living my religion to the best of my ability and acting as a living witness to my Heavenly Father. I also believe that no matter how many times your child claims they will keep their gum off of your furniture, carpet, or sister's hair, it will always end up there. =) But one thing remains.............I am who I am.

I hope all who read this will take this with them. Who you are right now, no matter how flawed that may be, are a big deal. You are the most important person in the world to at least one, if not many, different people. You, the way you are, are making a difference in the world. Whether that be good or bad, is up to you. God loves you and expects a lot from you because He loves you. You are not alone when you stand for something you believe in. And the world wouldn't be the same without you. Stand up for who you are and what you believe in. Be courageous. We have a lack of courage in the world, lets bring it back. Be who you are and never back down. Don't forget who you are, you're too important.
