Who am I?

I'm sitting at Starbucks trying to grasp the American History before I am quizzed on it later tonight. As I sit here and try to understand I start to think about my history. My life. I wonder who am I? Who do I want to be? That's what I'm left with. Thinking about who I want to be. I have great thoughts about what I wish to be but that's all they are. great thoughts. What do I do next though?

You know those people in your life who say things to you and they put you at a stand still? They say those things that just hit you hard enough to get the wind knoked out of you? Well I've talked to a few of them this week. Or better yet they talked AT me. It shook me up a bit. People whom I respected yet with there comments I have lost respect. This is what I've concluded as a lesson in my life: When speaking to someone, even if you are trying to help them by pointing out what they are doing wrong, don't do it in a mean way. Do it in a loving way. It's not that hard. What you say does affect people. This is a lesson I am learning and I hope that I have not said things to people that give them that feeling that I am having now. And if I have I am truly sorry.

Back to where I started, I think about these people in my life I think about them as part of my history. Part of the great story which I like to call, "The Life of Cheryl Kay Krake." I think about the things I have done and the choices I have made. Many of them not being the rights things while others seem to have been the right things to do. I will never make all the right moves, I'm human. It's in my nature to mess up, but what I am learning is that it's how you mess up and that shows more of who you really are.

So with all that said. Who am i? I'm a Sinner, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Friend, and most of all I AM DEEPLY LOVED BY GOD! That's the best part. Praise the Lord that I am His and he is mine!
