so while out with a friend yesterday, well, we were working together, we got to talking and although i don't remember what led to this statement, but i said to her that i thought i had a little bit hippy hidden inside me somewhere. she laughed (she has known me for quite a while) and said, "alittle bit hippy? girl you have a lot of hippy in there!" now, i don't know about that, but she proceeded to point out i wanted a barefoot wedding and i don't wear make-up - okay, maybe she is on to something. but somedays i wear make up and jewelry and cute fun clothes.
so then this morning i was working with hubby. i stopped to read some random historic marker. then he took a picture and said, "i need to teach you how to take artsy-fartsy pictures." now, i looked a little perplexed because i don't really take pictures. when i looked at him odd and asked him why he said it would make my blog more interesting....
so all of this got me thinking - how would i define myself? there is a bit of hippy in me. i love the idea of being organic and green. even though i'm not doing all of it the whole concept is so appealing to me. i love the idea of being a follower of Jesus - not a christian. i know - it is really the same thing, or is it???? then there is the whole girly-girl side of me that enjoys dressing up from time to time. and don't forget the girl that likes to get dirty and go camping and live a little rugged. but at the same time, fly me to a beach and let me relax with a beachside condo and a good book.
then i'm the girl who enjoys water! i love water. it is what i most drink....but i can't forget the starbucks. i have to have my starbucks. and of course i enjoy a fine wine too - but bring on the woodchuck sometimes too...
geesh, i'm getting even more complicated to figure out...
i love musicals!! i love broadway....but bring on a good suspense conspiracy thriller movie and i'm into it - big time. i love the sappy love stories, but love the non-sense comedies. i love everything from 80's music, rock and roll, love songs, worship music, and everything country.
i love living in town, but long for a house in the country. would live in the mountains, big city, or by the ocean, but love my small town.
i love art - good art and photography. i love to read non-fiction, fiction, christian fiction, random things, even newspapers. i love quaint little vacation spots that have nothing to do but read and walk around. i love finding local coffee shops. my hubby might drag me into some i'd rather not, but for the most part i'm up for it.
so who am i??? i really like the song that's been playing and i'm starting to see why. i love that i am totally free to be me. to be the me that Jesus made me. to be the me that changes as i learn and grow. i've gone from being tom-boy to girly-girl to camp girl to somewhere in between. i've been shy, yes, i'm quite sure i was when i was young, and now will talk to a stranger for hours if i can. i like who i am. i like that i'm one part hippy, one part artsy, one part girly, one part rugged, and fully His. i like that God made me to be so free....i'm free to be me!!!!!
