Who am I? the ramblings of a girl trying to find herself

hmmmm


the insane ramblings of.......Me.....


do I even know who....I....Am?


right now I can define myself by a lot of different things....


Mother....


Sister....


Friend....


Wife.....


But who am I? Who is Krysten?


I never really had a lot of time to really find out the answer to those questions, I've spent so much time focusing on those definitions that I never really defined Me.


I mean I could be the Writer....


the Photographer....


the Fat Girl.....[it's mean, but it's true, I'm overweight and thats how I sometimes feel]


the Nerd....


the Godly Teacher [I had someone call me that yesterday because I explained the Ten Commandments and Jesus' commandments to us to someone]


I mean when I really sit and think about it, like I'm doing right now, I remember....I'm not really supposed to define myself....God is....


So.....let's see....Who am I in Jesus' eyes?

Who I am in Christ

Because you are in Christ, every one of these statements is true of you.

• I am loved 1John 3:3
• I am accepted Ephesians 1:6
• I am a child of God John 1:12
• I am Jesus' friend John 15:14
• I am a joint heir with Jesus, sharing His inheritance with Him Romans 8:17
• I am united with God and one spirit with Him 1Corinthians 6:17
• I am a temple of God. His spirit and his life live in me 1 Corinthians 6:19
• I am a member of Christ's body. 1 Corinthians 12:27
• I am a Saint Ephesians 1:1
• I am redeemed and forgiven Colossians 1:14
• I am complete in Jesus Christ Colossians 2:10
• I am free from condemnation Romans 8:1
• I am a new creation because I am in Christ 2Corinthians 5:17
• I am chosen of God, holy and dearly loved Colossians 3:12
• I am established, anointed, and sealed by God 2Corinthians 1:21
• I do not have a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind 2Timothy 1:7
• I am God's co-worker 2Corinthians 6:1
• I am seated in heavenly places with Christ Eph 2:6
• I have direct access to God Ephesians 2:18
• I am chosen to bear fruit John 15:16
• I am one of God's living stones, being built up in Christ as a spiritual house 1 Peter 2:5
• I have been given exceedingly great and precious promises by God by which I share His nature 2 Peter 1:4
• I can always know the presence of God because He never leaves me Hebrews 13:5
• God works in me to help me do the things He wants me to do Philippians 2:13
• I can ask God for wisdom and He will give me what I need James 1:5
• I am Beautiful.
• I am Beloved
• I am Wanted
• I am Worth it

I found this and I think it's amazing, this is how God see's me. true the world may not see me this way, but God is bigger. 

So something I need to keep reminding myself about is....The World shouldn't define me....God Should....

thanks for taking this journey with me as I discover myself once again, I am a New Creation, I hope you Join me as I discover all that that means for me....

Much Love

nothing profound to write about, just ramblings

Sorry I havent writting anything for the past week...I've just been going through some stuff and its not really anything that I can write about here...I have been writing about it because I need to vent but I'm the only one who will see it because it's not online anywhere...but yeah I've been depressed this whole week really about different things...part of it is the monthly hormones but the other part is other stuff...I mean I really dont know what to do about some of this stuff...I'm shocked, and I'm at a loss....
I just....I dont know, I mean I really want to write about the problems but out of respect for the other person involved I know I shouldnt...but I just dont know what to do....oy...

anyway right now all the kids in the house are asleep, my brothers are over here for the night so we have a full house...

anyway I just really dont know what to write about, these problems really are all that my mind is focused on, I just dont know what to do with them...I dont even know what to think....one of my sisters and I kind of talked a little about it so she knows the jist of whats going on, so she was able to give me some advice, so we'll see how that works out...but yeah....thats the reason I havent been writing this week is because I'm going through some tough stuff and I cant go into details in here....so I guess I'll just ramble...

oy anyway yeah I really dont have anything profound to write about tonight....the girls are doing great, I'm doing okay I guess I'm hanging in there right now....I just need prayer for clarity I guess....

goodnight all

Krys

OMGsh I feel horrible

Oh my Gosh....right now I feel so horrible
I have an awful headache, my nose is stuffed up, I'm coughing, and I'm nauseated and dizzy....
I just wish I could crawl into bed and sleep, in fact I almost did...but I need to wait....
I am just so freaking miserable right now, it's not even funny

I dont know what to do....I think that after the girl's movie is over I'm just going to take them both in bed with me....I mean it'll be like 7:30pm but I seriously feel horrible so yeah...

ugh...hopefully I'll feel better soon

Krysten

great I got the same thing the girls have....peachy

Ugh....well I got what the kiddo's have...freaking peachy....

sore throat, stuffy nose, and all over crappy feeling....this is just perfect...
Katie's doing better, Alli is doing worse, she's more congested so right now she is laying in her bean bag chair under a blanket, it's cute....poor little girl.

anyway it's raining today, so it's like the perfect day to do absolutely NOTHING....LOL not that I'm going to do nothing, but I do need to take it easy, I wish I had some hot chocolate, I guess I'll settle for some wild berry zinger hot tea, I'll put a little honey in it...yummm

anyway if I feel better later I might play some WoW, but I think I'm going to cuddle up and watch New Moon or something, I always watch New Moon when I'm either not feeling good or I'm depressed, plus I already watched Twilight a few nights ago.
I'm going to watch all the movies and read at least Breaking Dawn before the movie comes out...thats my plan hehe
anyway...ciao for now

sick babies, Little Mermaid and homeschool...oh my

well today I woke up next to a hot water heater....Katie had a fever of 101.4 this morning...poor baby, and Alli woke up with a cough. so it looks like the girls caught something from someone. the good news is in 2 hours Katie's fever went down to 100.6 so thats good, that whatever she caught is burning off enough so knock her fever down.

other then that things are going really well, I think my hubby might be really close to getting full time, he's been getting more hours, so we're praying for full time.

so yeah right now the girls are sitting quietly watching The Little Mermaid, you can tell they dont feel good.
later today I'm suposed to go and do a little food shopping with my dad, just to get the essentials. we'll be doing the bigger shopping trip on tuesday.

on another note, Katie has learned to say "boobie" LOL it's SO adorable, yes I'm still breastfeeding her, she's 21 months old now, I am so proud of how long I've gone, I NEVER thought I'd go this long, only a few more months and then we will have gone 2 years! we've gone through so much, it's so awesome.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

okay another little piece of news, I've decided that I am homeschooling the girls until my hubby starts saying that he wants to send them to public school, even then it's negotiable, my reasoning for this is because all the extra stuff their teaching now even as early as preschool is the total opposite of what me and my family believes. they are trying to indoctrinate our kids as early as possible, and these subjects [homosexuality and putting down christianity BUT promoting islam, etc] are things that should be the parents responsibility to teach...the school's should only focus on the facts, reading, writing, history [the original history, NOT the revised crap] science, math. but they want to go further, they want to undermine parents authority. so yeah...I have decided to homeschool.
this fall I decided to not keep Allison in speech therapy, mostly because she did NOT like the lady we were going to, she refused to talk for her even though at home Alli would talk talk talk...so honestly she didnt really need speech anymore. so then I got a letter and forms from the school district, saying that I had chosen to not send Alli to preschool...it was said in such a way that it sounded derogatory, so you know what I did, I whited that out and I wrote in that I was homeschooling....so there....LOL....I have every legal right to homeschool my kids...so yeah...
anyway lately we have been studying color's, I have Alli tell me what color it is and I have Katie repeat the color, so Alli is learning color's and Katie is learning color's and language, so what I need to start doing is attendence records and the like...so yeah...I'm getting it figured out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

anyway I'm going to go, I need to get ready to go shopping.

ciao
