Hello Baltimore

I am starting to become happy in my own skin. I am not sure what brought this on...maybe a surge of feeling loved by roommates and friends, and a loving God that adores me. I am in the process of shedding some old skin and it feels strange and uncomfortable. It is easy to be sick, or be ashamed, or wounded. It is hard to be freed and be in love with the growth process. I enjoy being able to write on this blog to help people, but my identity is no longer in a sickness that I suffer from. I was called out on that this week and I find it refreshing to stand in the truth that I am Melissa Matthew...not Bi Polar. My name is Melissa Matthew and I love Cobalt Blue, and Pacific City, Oregon, and playing with a 2 year old and a 9 month old 4 days a week. My life is moving on and although Bi Polar is in my life it does not define who I am.
