Who am I?

Who are you? It seems a simple enough question when taken at face value. However, were one to dig a little bit deeper, its a question that very few of us know the true answer to. These simple three words made me squirm not so very long ago. I had no idea who I was or what I was doing. However, as I mature in the Lord and in life in general, my grasp on this question seems a little more stable. I no longer smile and say, "What can I say? I'm just undefinable me." (If you ever recieved this answer from me, this was a cop out and I apoligize now.) I don't think I fully understand myself, that is, I don't always understand why I do things or why I feel certain way. I don't yet know all my good and bad qualities, but as I walk in the light, the darkness is brought to attention.

So who am I really?

I am Geraldine Rose Kern. Friends call me Dina, and enemies, well I try to stay away from having them. I hate drama. If you cause drama, stay away. I am terrible at confrontations- peaceful or otherwise. I cry to much and some may say I laugh to much as well. But I love both. I hate excersize and until recently, thought I would die fat and alone. This big blond and beautiful girl is tired of believing that, though. I am a girl who is tired of living with ordinary. I want extraordinary. My desires are to grow old with my husband and children in some third world country telling dying people how much Jesus Christ loves them. People say I contradict myself at times, and I tend to agree. My self-esteem is low and yet high. I am mature yet immature. I am a hopeless romantic. My ideal date would be a moonlight picnic at the beach followed by a walk under the stars. I love stargazing and day dreaming. I love sleep a little to much, but will sacrifice sleep for the internet. I love going out and having good times with close friends. I don't like fake people. I love my family and pray for them everyday. I cry for Feed The Children commercials and stories of abused or starving children. I sing in my car at the top of my lungs and I dont care who sees me. I talk to much. I sigh a lot. I think my best quality is my eyes. I like my hair, too. I hate my nose, but will live with it. I think people that get plastic surgery for vain reasons are idiots. I think people that dress their dogs in cute little desses and take them to the mall in their purse should be put in institutions. Isn't that animal abuse? I'm outspoken, but sometimes not outspoken enough.

That isn't all of me, but that's what I could think of for the time being. I have all sorts of issues, but I have so many more awesome traits. I'm not done "Discovering Dina" but when I find out more, I'll let you know

I encourage you reading my blog to really discover yourself as well. A word of warning, however, I am not sure that this is possible without the Lord. When I tried it without him, it didn't work.
