So... i am SUCH a type B person stuck in a type A person's body! I have been wanting to blog for years now! For my own creative/writing outlet... Yet! Even though I literally go through life writing blog posts in my head, I have been unable to blog until now because I am so picky about blog designs and blog names! Seriously! It's made me realize how type A (crazy!) I am! I can't sit down to write on a blog where I don't absolutely love the design or the name. There have been many times I have created blogs only to be so disapointed with the name and look of it that I don't ever return to write a post! As a part of my New Year's resolves... I decided to start with a clean, WHITE slate (background) and a simple name. I still hate the name really. Even though I am a young married wife, I don't feel like being a wife is how I really think of myself. My whole identity isn't wrapped up in that. I love being a wife, but I do still love being a daughter of God... a daughter to my parents... a friend... a cook... a crazy girl. ;) More than anything, especially now, I feel like my identity is a daughter of God's. I have really come to embrace that as my only true identity in some ways. Although I am a lot of other things too, that pretty much is WHO I am and it may have taken me 25 years to realize just that. I'm sure in 25 more years I will realize that even more-- at least I hope I will! I can't name my blog "This Christian's Blog" though. Haha. Well, maybe I can! But it sounds so superfluous. Anyways... I am now telling myself that not everyone can have a perfect blog straight from the get go! At least I can't! I seriously have created so many only to delete them or forget about them. Haha. So even though I'm definitely NOT in love with this blog design or the name, I'm going to write on it until a better design or name come my way. Haha. I refuse to pay for someone to design one for me! That's nuts! I've definitely thought about it though!! No worries though, I'm not wasting our money on that. :) Okay... so this is my less than perfect first post (I've also had anxieties about having a good first post) on my so very less than perfectly designed blog with a less than perfect name. Here's to a less than perfect but ENJOYABLE 2013!
love, d
