I am Katie Hear Me ROAR!

I seek change in myself. In order to do this I must be honest with who I am...honest with who I want to be...honest with my past. I have to be accepting of who I was. I have to learn to be more forgiving of myself. I need to learn to forgive others as Christ has forgiven me. 

I am a caring person. I will go out of my way to help anyone that I feel needs it. I love helping people. I love seeing that I made a difference in one persons life.

I am a loving person. I love quickly and deeply. This can cause deep emotional pain later but I am always willing to give someone my love.

I strive to be the best at everything I do. I want perfection. This can seem like a bad thing but I am always wanting to better myself.

These three things are what I love about myself. These qualities are what I am going to use in the journey I have planned for myself.

I am insecure....very insecure. I feel like the odd man out in most situations. I love myself don't get me wrong. I am not ashamed of who I am. I just feel like people don't get me. I am always afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing. Through my walk with Christ I am working on this. I am learning to accept myself.

I am an impatient mother. I HATE this about myself!! I am so much better than I used to be, but I still struggle with this on a daily basis. I have an autistic step son that I have 50 percent of the time and a four (almost five) year old that is already showing signs of adhd. I am forced to be more patient. I am learning to start our morning routine a little earlier because of what I call the "ooh butterfly" syndrome.

I make excuses for people. Even strangers. I try to remember that maybe they are having a bad day/week/month/or life. Sometimes people are just jerks and they don't deserve an excuse.

These are the three things I hate the most about myself.  In the last year I have started to learn to love myself. I have tried to accept myself. I have renewed my faith in Christ. I know through him all things are possible.

Through my walk with Christ I have started to want to improve myself. I want to be a more gentle and peaceful person. I seek peace. I am an anxious person. I worry a lot. I am learning to be more trusting in the Lord.

In the next 52 weeks my goal is to once a week sit down and write about the changes I feel. I look forward to growing closer to the Lord. I want to seek him more, glorify him in my times of hardship, and praise him continuously.
