Who am I?
Daughter. Wife. Mommy. Musician. Writer. Encourager. Friend. Teacher. Prayer Warrior. Listening Ear. Woman.
Those are some mighty powerful words that first come to mind. But is that who I am? Is that my identity? Or does it go one step farther. All those are roles that I step into at the drop of a hat. Actually, most often, I’m piling on the hats in comfy layers–there’s rarely any time to transition smoothly between roles.
But when I have a few minutes to myself, whether lying in bed at night or a quick bathroom break behind a locked door, who am I?
My identity is much more than what I do. While I don’t have any answers, I most certainly have a great Guide and Leader. I can’t get overwhelmed and consumed by my actions. Should something happen, and all the things “to do” are torn away from me, and my life was all I had, would that be enough?
I was created by a loving God who has some wildly crazy and fantastic plan for me. Just for me. Part of that plan includes the free gift of life everlasting. No matter how hard I try, no matter how many hats I wear, I cannot put a price on that gift. All I can do is accept it. God says to trust Him; that His ways are much bigger than anything my mere mortal mind can understand. All those roles are good, but it’s not the end–they’re simply part of the journey. I’m encouraged to work hard in all that I do. To strive for the best. My life is to be an example to others.
Who am I?
I am Yours.
