Who Am I

Hello world.
I've been writing this blog in my head for a long time and it's time to get it all out.
In the past several years my family and I have faced changes that have caused me to question who I am and what I believe.  I'm still figuring that out but here is what I know now:
-I'm 32 years old.
-Married
-Two living children, one deceased
-Work full-time
-My kids go to a private school
-Overweight
-PhD student
-Christian
--freewill
--non judgement
--not pushy
-Loyal
-Changing political beliefs
-Interested in natural products/medicine

I think I have a blog about every bullet above. Very rarely to I share with others what I am completely thinking.   I withhold a lot of thoughts.   I'm not sure why.  Sometimes I'm ready to discuss what I am thinking but have no one to discuss it with, sometimes I don't want to fight, other times I don't want to offend.  So maybe I will just start putting it all here and hopefully some people will respond.  

I have a lot of passionate thoughts about education, Christianity, raising children, government and more.  Yet I don't share them.  Some of it comes out very loudly in my actions.  I nursed my babies, I used cloth diapers with my daughter.  We took our son out of the public school I worked in at the time and put him in a private school.   But I don't always get to explain or discuss the why's of these actions.  Why do I do what I do? WHY do I believe do what I do?  Why?  Is it purposeful? I would like to think so.  Future thinking I want to ensure that I do is as purposeful as possible.
