Still Heather: The journey of a blog title

I've been through quite the round of blog titles.  I liked them when I chose them, but they just didn't feel like me after awhile. One of them involved a roller coaster that I felt I was definitely on and another title involved fashion for the top of your head. I'll just leave that right there.

I've always enjoyed writing in a journal. It tames my swirling thoughts and keeps me from growing overwhelmed.  It is a physical act I do to really hand things over to God.  It encourages me and reminds me of who I am is more than what is happening that day. I think that's why I want to blog. My desire to blog is greater than my discipline, but that is something I'm working on.

I wanted my blog title to reflect who I am more than what I would write about. Though what I wrote about would be important to me too.  I subscribe to the post reminders from the past on my Facebook feed.  This is one that popped up recently that my husband, Craig, had posted 3 years ago.

"On the way home from Wal-Mart I asked Katelyn what she wanted to be when she grew up she replied "still Katelyn" gotta love her"

Yes! Still Katelyn! Isn't that what we all want? To be ourselves.  Now who we are is wrapped up in our experiences.  We, hopefully, mature as we get older and who we are as a 5 year old should not be the same as who we are now, but in this world of trying to keep up, live up, and put up don't we want to be ourselves? Make that the BEST version of ourselves.  Believe me there is so much more that I need to improve on than I don't, but at my core I want to be who God intended me to be.  He did not create me to be someone else.  He wants me to be the BEST version of who He made me. Still Heather!  It's a daily walk with Him. Things to sort out, less of me to show & more of Him, but also staying true to who He made me to be.  I'm thankful that we are not all made from the same cookie cutter.  For the love of a poor metaphor, it makes the cookie plate much more interesting.

So here I stand.  Follower of  Jesus Christ, Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Friend, Teacher....and hopefully,
Still Heather.
