I AM

So this is a challenge I took from a fellow blogger. This month is Domestic Violence Awareness month. So the challenge is to take 5 minutes and write out who you are using the prompt "I am." With that said, here is mine. I am a mother, wife, daughter and friend. I am not always the greatest at this but I try my hardest. I am compassionate. I am helpful, if ever there is a way that I can help someone then I will. Whether it be with something around the house or just listening. I am a survivor. I have survived a wide variety of situations ranging from abuse, to severe depression and anxiety. I came out on top, I survived. I am loving. I am a Christian. I know that God watches over me and directs me in the path he wants me to go, even if others don't always approve. I am a woman. I am a musician. I love to play the piano and sing. I am a lover. I am a cook, maybe not the greatest and not all the time, but I can do it if I try. I am able. I am able to what ever I want so long as I put my mind to it. So that was my 5 minutes, I don't know how many people will do this but I challenge you to. It can be insightful and inspiring. and sometimes it can even be helpful when you're feeling down. So go, do it, and either link me to it or post it. And be sure to go back to my friends at http://craughing.com/2012/06/04/victims-impact-statement/ http://www.youknowithappensatyourhousetoo.com/2012/10/i-am-who-are-you.html
