Truly Am.

I received a difficult assignment today in counseling. I am to make a list. An accurate reflection of me. Of things I try to keep hidden.

"This is who I truly am"

I don't have the order of all the books of the Bible memorized

I yell at my kids

I am in level 5+ pain everyday

I take pain meds multiple times a day

I eat raw cookie dough, without fail, every time I bake cookies.

I am 20 lbs overweight ( not all that hidden)

Sometimes I ache to have a baby girl

my house is almost always dirty

My bathroom gets cleaned about once a month

I can't seem to control what I eat

I am not in right relationships with some people in my church

I struggle with loving myself

I'm not fond of my nose

I have a strong fear of failure

I am embarrassed when my garage door is open

I have had the desire to punch a few people in the face, this month alone

I am not good at hugging

I find it incredibly difficult to accept love

I stink at being a stay at home mom

I don't read many story books to my children

I look forward to my TV time after the kids go to bed

I am jealous

I am easily frustrated

I edit what I say for fear of rejection

Somedays I wish I wasn't a parent

I am selfish with my time

I am very aware of my crooked lips and pregnancy mask under my eyes and above my lips

...this list will be added to if you want to continue to find out "Who I Truly Am."

( I would encourage you to give it a try...it is very freeing)
