After 15 years of marriage and over ten years of being a parent, I began searching for myself. I had changed thousands of diapers. Sleep deprivation filled my days for more than half a decade.
My children left home school to attend public school. I spent hours learning new skills since my old ones were obsolete. My life changed completely.
Are you thinking: Should I be searching for me?
Advice from other parents contained doing something fun. I had no idea what was fun anymore. Shopping and large crowds don’t appeal to me; I’m too introverted. I turned to the only place I could, my Savior and Lord.
Even after pouring myself into the Bible, I struggled. I joined a women’s Bible study and made friends. I prayed regularly and took personality tests. The tests revealed an aptitude for teaching and writing, passions I had avoided my whole life.
