Someone recently asked me to define myself...at the moment I gave some quick and thoughtless answer. Since, I have pondered this open-ended question.
I will start with the immediate response that came from my mouth recently:
Kristen Jordan math teacher to many.
Then, I thought how arrogant and self-righteous of me.
I have thought about the meaning behind a definition and in Webster's words:
Definition-
Act of ascertaining and explaining the signification; a description of a thing by its properties;
an explanation of the meaning
The only true explanation of myself that I have come to terms with is that I am hopelessly lost without the amazing sovereign grace and love of God. Every other explanation or description just seems mute. I am a sinner and the light and only redemption in my world is Jesus dying to save me.
Nothing else fits.
