| Introduction | I am married and that is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Also the biggest learning experience. As are the two daughters that God has graciously entrusted us with. I am stuck somewhere between being a realist and an idealist. I am not very opinionated but I have a lot of ideas. I don't demand to be heard but I like being listened to. I seek truth, but not enough. I don't usually do things without putting thought into them, and I like what I do to have significance. Because of that I can be overly analytical yet I tend to be under-observant. It's the small things that catch my attention but usually only after they've grown to be big. I like when things fit together. I get upset when things don't work like they should. As a result my husband often asks me, "Well, should they?" My biggest challenge is learning contentment in a fallen world and seeing the grace that pervades it all. |
