Hello, My Name Is...

The kids and I went to church last night for a new program they are hosting on Wednesday nights called "Little Friends of Faith". It's a gathering for kids 0-4 and a chance for parents of young kids to mingle and fellowship, and they provide dinner, so I was the first to sign up!! The first order of business was sign in and get nametags. Lily wrote her own name (though she still has a little trouble with the "y"). I put Luke's nametag on his back because he kept peeling it off. After Lily was coloring for a few minutes, she looked up at me and said I spelled my name wrong. Embarrassed, I looked down but realized I spelled "Steph" correctly. She said "No, but Mommy, it doesn't have an M in it!". Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard with my whole heart! What a sweetie! Of course my name is MOM, not Steph! And that has been a pivotal moment for me. Who am I? So many different titles throughout my short life so far...maybe even a few not-so-nice names at times...I'm having a hard time deciding who I am these days, but more importantly, I'm having an even harder time deciding who I want to be. What name goes on my nametag next week? Perhaps just "BLESSED".
