I just read this on a blog that my Mom sent me and I thought it pretty much summed me up:

"I'm a work in progress, utterly reliant upon God. I'm easy-going, until I freak out. Organized, until I lose something. Laid back, until someone hurts the ones I love."

Here's a link to the blog if you're interested. From the small bit that I have read the woman who writes it appears to be a Christian lady who has 12 kids (four biological, eight adopted, and all beautiful).
