This is technically not a blog post. I just updated the "About Me" page of my little website, and I don't want to lose the original text. So, I'm pasting it below for posterity.
About Me I'm a bit of an extremist. Truly an "all or nothing" personality. I either stay up all night cleaning every corner of my house, or it goes weeks without being touched. I either get engrossed in a book and read it in two days, or I don't pick one up for a year. I either crash diet, or I eat everything in sight! Go big or go home- that's me. So it has been with two of the talents I believe God has given me. As a child, I envisioned I would grow up to either be a writer or a singer. And I would be famous!!!! All my goals somehow centered around me being in a spotlight one way or the other. But, when those goals didn't magically come to fruition, I largely put singing (other than in my church) and writing aside. Now- after the birth of my third child, I seemed to have found a new sense of purpose! I see in my three children how amazingly we are crafted by a loving Creator. And I am reminded how we are made in His image, and how He gifts us all with some level of desire to create as well. Having three children has also given me a new sense of entitlement. My life is so crazy-hectic, and so crazy-busy, I actually feel entitled and at peace with not being able to do it all! My children give me the purpose that my younger self thought I would find in the spotlight. My extremism seems to be subsiding. I'm learning that it is better to "do something" than "nothing", even if that 'something' is to make a website that might not be seen by anyone but me and my very supportive husband, Alex. So- here it is. A website. A website for what? Well, partly just because. But I hope it will be a place to share a little music, a little writing, and maybe a little bit of myself, while keeping Colossians 3:24 in mind: "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men."
