Identity Crisis

What does your life look like?
Not just to you, but the people who get a glimpse into your world.

When it comes to your life, and the choices you have, the decisions you make, what is at the center of your very existence?

Are you basing your decisions on what "they" think?
Are you parenting because that is how "they" parent?
Are you volunteering because "they" will be THE volunteer?

As women of the word of God, we need to take the "t" and the "y" out of "they" and focus on the "h" and the "e" - our Creator - HE loves us and wants us to live for HIM - end of story.

HE is what we need to be thinking about
HE is what we need to be basing our decisions on
HE is who will let us know if we are raising our children up for HIM
He wants us to live our life according to HIM - not THEM

Not the people in your MOPS group, not the leaders of the studies, not the critical voices, not the second looks, not the people at work, or the moms at playgroup. He didn't create an existence of Eve's in the Bible, we are all a piece of his creation, unique, a reflection of his image and no one elses.

I once had a friend ask me what it means to truly have a heart that is living for our Savior and I think when we can let go of the "they" in our life then we can focus on the "he" that created our life and everything else will fall into place because our identily will be in him, and no one else.

You're all this heart is trying to live for -

United We Stand!

Divorce - We can all say we know someone who has suffered through it. While you are reading this post, in this very moment, a couple somewhere is making that decision. It is clearly no one's place to judge or place blame on one person over the other, but sides are taken, the peace is broken, and two lives and those around them will never be the same.

Is there such a thing as "Divorce Proofing" your marriage? I can't answer that question, but what I do know is that there is something I can do for my husband, my marriage, today that will make a difference in his life for the better, tomorrow. I can be responsible for what I choose to do or not do every single day that we are married.

What about you? What have you done lately for your husband? We can all come together and realize that doing nothing will create just that, nothing. I don't know about you, but I don't want a "nothing" marriage. When I said my wedding vows I meant something and they meant everything to me. We need to get it together and hold on to the moments, the little things, that will carry us through the tough times.

If you have been divorced, it is in the past and know that you are loved, you can heal and you can love again. There is also a beautiful word - reconciliation - and with God, all things are possible!

Love ya always,
Heather
