My POV

Wow, a blank slate can be a little intimidating, can't it?  I've contemplated starting a blog for various reasons - for a while now.  Usually, I end up on the side of - well - who's going to read anything I write - then back to - why would I write in the first place - then back to - even if I do write and someone reads it do I have the time to keep up with something like a blog?

So, today, I've decided to write.  Even finally came up with a title. ArtsyClarsky's POV.  The title in itself describes answers to some of the questions I've toyed with above.  Who's going to read - people interested in my point-of-view.  Why do I write - because I do have a POV.  So, this is going to be a little slice of the web where I am going to post about my take on life - as I see it.  We all have a POV and each one has value.  I've decided today to give mine a voice.  Will I always be consistent - who knows!?!?  Life isn't black and white, it isn't cut and dry, it constantly throws curve balls and sometimes we second guess.  I think this blog will be a place for me to kind-of hash those things out.

So, who am I?  I'll start by describing some of the external contributing factors. First, I'm a Christian - which now that I've stated it - is more internal than external after-all.  Next, I'm the wife of an awesome guy, who happens to be a pastor - which does in fact make me a "Pastor's Wife".  Still coming to terms with that if you want to know the truth. There's a lot of "Know Your Role" that goes along with the title - that I simply haven't figured out yet!  Then, I'm a mom.  Mother of THREE!!!  Three awesome little blessings that require a lot from me that I wasn't really ever taught how to give - but I'm trying. After that I'm an arts administrator - lifting-up college kids so they can start on the path of finding out who they are - creatively, professionally, and personally too.  What's left after giving myself away four times? I ask myself that a lot. Truth is - that might be the point. Is life supposed to be about me? Or is it supposed to be about how I can make life the best it can be for others?

This blog will hopefully be a reminder - mostly to myself - to consider my POV from that of someone else and see how God can receive the most glory from the actions that follow.
