Who I Am

A few years ago, if you had asked me to describe myself I would have told you "I'm a single mom.  I'm a working mom.  I'm a wannabe musician, an artist, a dreamer.  I'm broken.  I'm hurting.  I'm alone and struggling."

So many people have asked me in the past two years how I have recovered.  How have I managed to not only survive but thrive?  How am I not drowning in bitterness?

As I was getting ready to lead worship in my church this morning, I was listening to this song (which we're doing on Sunday, I can hardly wait).  This song tells you my story.  This song tells you the story that Jesus wants to write for you.  This song describes how a broken, empty, lonely, divorced, and bitter woman can write this blog today.  This song will tell you why I can stand up and sing and rejoice and praise God for my yesterday's that were filled with pain and for my today's that are filled with hope.

I'm a child of God.
