Who am I?

Recently I was asked this question and it really got me thinking. To really answer this question you have to closely examine your core values and where you are in your life journey. For that matter what is your life journey. Why are you here? To what end were you born? Who amoung us has not asked these questions to ourselves before?
It does not matter what exotic destination you are at, or which one you are headed to. Some people travel to avoid answering these questions, some work excessively. Most of us associate ourselves in relationship to others. I am someone's spouse, parent, child. We associate who we are by what we do. I am a writer, photographer, traveler, doctor, dock worker, etc. We associate who we are by our hobbies. I am a fisher, camper, biker, bowler, etc. When we strip all that away WHO ARE YOU?
This was what I came up with. May I encourage you to embark on your own journey of discovery.

I am in a discovery of self. On a journey of discovery, with an ultimate destination of returning home to my Heavenly Father. Along the way I hope to learn and grow. I hope to make new friends and encourange them to be the best that they can be while striving to be the best that I can be. I strive to love the Lord with all my heart mind and soul and to love others as I would want others to love me. I hope to be the voice of encouragement to all I meet and to always be a builder and not a destroyer ever. The most important thing I can do this day is to be a witness to my Lord Jesus Christ and I testify to you that He Lives and He loves you. May you learn to love him is my humble prayer. amen
