Who am I? I am a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a pastor, a minister, a friend, a child of God...
If you really want to know a person either give them a million dollars or put them in serious peril. Putting someone in the extreme of life causes them to show their true colors. Realistically, we are not able to do either. Most people live in the median of life. They are not tested in one extreme or the other. So, sometimes I like to ask, if you won the lottery, what would you do? Now, I am aware this isn't a great test. Most people have ideals when dreaming about winning large sums of cash. It is the same ideals that come out when asked, "If you had a gun to your head and you had to choose decision A or decision B what would it be?" Most people cannot visualize how they would react in a situation they know nothing about. The real answer in both cases can only be known if the scenario actually came true.
So, I wish to answer the lotto question knowing full well my real choices might be different if I actually earned, or won a huge sum of money. If I won the lotto I would do exactly what I am doing now to the extreme. I am passionate about my life and the choices I have made in it. There is so much more I want to do for my family and for my call. I am confident in windfall or peril, I would still be doing those things.
