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 -
Heather
