Pieces of Me

So here's the thing. I may like things. I make be inspired by things or into things. I may go in and out of passionate interest in things and at times they may fade into the background. I am not a yogi, or a health nut, or a hippi or whatever other kind of label or definition I may have been seen as. One similar label that I would say does not apply to this general rule is "musician." I AM a musician.

What I've come to the past week or so is that the only true, or at least THE MOST DEFINING definition of me....one that is unchanging and hopefully determines the most who people see me as, is a daughter of God and a disciple of Christ. I am here to learn and be strengthened by opposition and to learn to follow my guidance that always comes from Christ. This is how I continue to become more and more ME.

So in this little identity crisis, this is the conclusion I've come to. There are roles that I have had in my life that are passing or shifting, interests that I no longer want to spend a bunch of time teaching, etc but who I am, and my most important roles are shifting yet steady. Being a spiritual being and seeking Christ in this world requires constant changing and growing, being the mother and wife that he wants me to be requires patience with myself, perspective, and diligence. But I'll tell you from experience, these paths are the most joyous and give me the most glimpses my eternal me and the most humility and gratitude for my life.

With more clarity:
I AM a daughter of God
I AM a disciple of Christ
I AM a wife, mother, daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunt, cousin.
I AM a musician
I AM a teacher
I feel naturally inclined always to share things with others that bring me happiness. It's part of who I am, ingrained. Hence, teacher.
I do love the earth.
I am always learning
I am often not the most tactful person
I am often not very consistent, BUT I feel like that is part of my creativity and don't necessarily see it as a downfall.
I love seeing/feeling the connection between spiritual and physical things.
I connect with spiritual things through seeing and feeling.
