What's this whole "Damsel in Distress" thing goin on?

For many reading this, my classmates, teacher, or a complete stranger...you may be wondering just where and why I call myself and my blog site the "Damsel in Distress." Well, a Damsel is a young beautiful lady. In classic literature a young maiden was called a Damsel. Now, this young lady was normally caught in between of a prediciment and thrown in harms way by a villain or a monster. Hence, Damsel in Distress. Alright, so you got that part down? Now you are probably confused as to why I would choose this as the heading to my blog. I see it this way: Lately I have been caught in the middle of a lot of prediciments. Personal issues, family issues, faith issues and relational and friendship struggles as well. I see myself as this Damsel, beautiful on the inside and (sometimes) on the outside. But I have been weighed down by this villan. That is where I, the Damsel become Distressed. Another way to look at it from my persective is that God is the ultimate hero for me....in times of need I need him to come rescue me from the things that go wrong in my life. Like right now. I am ultimately a Damsel. Beautiful, striving, laughing, smiling ear to ear, running gracefully. But, when something trips us along the way we may loose our sense of who we are. I am in this position. Many of you may think I am crazy, and some of you know what I'm talking about if you are good enough friends with me. But lately I have struggled a lot, and it's definitely gotten in the way of my identity. Who I truly am is in there somewhere, but in the meantime I need to get back on track and find the Damsel that was, and IS truly beautiful.
