Woman- I have been a WOMAN since March 1987, when I was born. As a young woman in her twenties, I have been subject to many cultural utterances of what exactly it IS to be a woman. Is it culturally motivated, is it intrinsic, religious, physical, metaphysical, or just a sociological name attributed to people born which has no deeper meaning? I believe that to be a woman is not something you can choose, nor is it something you can un-choose. God has created us all either male and female (Genesis). I for one, am a female. But how does that play out? In some cultures women are not allowed to work, be independent, or even speak unless spoken-to. Even in the Christian community there is much debate about what roles a woman should have. But I digress, these issues, I'm sure, can be discussed at length elsewhere on this site :) Suffice it to say, womanhood, in some manner, does define who I am.

Wife- As of June 2012, I have been a wife. I married a young British man, and moved to the United Kingdom (from America) to start my new life with him. To say the visa process was simply and sweet would be a gross error. However, learning to be a wife as I prepare to settle here, and work and what this all means has been quite the interesting journey!

Worshiper- this probably should have been my first category, but I am indeed a worshiper. I suggest that all of you reading this (and everyone else in the internet/blogosphere) is also a worshiper. The question is only, what do we worship? Self, media, others, pride, accomplishment, a spouse, a friend, a deity,  and the list goes on. My desire, and hope, is to worship the God of the bible, of whom Jesus Christ is Son, sent to this world to die for the sins of mankind that man might be reconciled with God. I am a worshiper who seeks believes reconciliation works, and the reconciliation with God is of the greatest importance. And the only way this reconciliation can happen between a Holy, Mighty, All-Loving God, is through a mediator since we are neither Holy, Mighty, nor All-Loving. And this mediator...is Christ. Through him we have hope. And this hope- it works. (*Enter epiphany for name :)

Worker- I am a worker.I enjoy working, a lot. I received a Bachelors in Family Psychology, Bible, and English in 2009. I then continued to complete a Master's in Library and Information Science, with concentrations in Archives. How are these two related? Well, my psychology studies contained a lot of coursework about how people think, learn, and are motivated as they develop. Library and information science evaluated the best ways to provide people with information and motivate them to think and learn. My career-passion/hobby in a nutshell would probably be providing resources. I love to assist people with resources whether it involves actually making the resource myself (charts, illustrations, powerpoints, research papers, bibliographies) or simply pointing people in the right direction with a good reference.
