Who am I?

Keegan Harkins

Honestly, I hate trying to sum up my life in a short paragraph. I mean, what do I say first? The most important thing about me is that I am a Christian. After that, like everyone else, I have a lot of titles: wife, mom, daughter, teacher, friend, author... Then there are the unofficial titles: maid, taxi driver to all my son's friends, dog walker, personal shopper, and finder of all things that could easily be found if other people looked - but they don't. I am a real person - just like you - trying to live my life for Christ and not get fooled by all the current 'wisdom' that floods our lives. I don't know everything, but I do know that God does. I know we can find the answers to all our questions inside the most amazing book every written: the Bible.
