What?

What makes you, you?  What makes me, me? What....? What is important?  What takes priority?

Being a human is so amazing.  We have these bodies and these spirits that can be transformed. We have memories.  We have hopes.  We have fears.  We have frustrations.  We have deep needs.... so deep. We have joy! We have love.

Running is like breathing for me.  It makes me feel like who I am.  It gives me what I need to do what I need to do. It isn't my everything, but it hurts when it is gone.

Teaching is my mission field.  I have so much hope and I see so much promise.  It can be so frustrating and so exhausting.  It can be so.... But it is almost always rewarding if I look for glory in the small things and look at the big picture.  It too isn't my everything even though it looks that way sometimes.

Christ is my everything.  I wish it were more obvious.  I just want to be who I am supposed to be.  I don't want the guilt of not being something I am not.  I can't be like the rest.  I am me.
