How Are you defined?

hmmmm, I know this isnt my usual type of post but I've been really feeling this subject being laid on my heart and so I needed to share, if you'r trying to define yourself, please read on...


the insane ramblings of.......Me.....


do I even know who....I....Am?


right now I can define myself by a lot of different things....


Mother....


Sister....


Friend....


Wife.....


But who am I?


I never really had a lot of time to really find out the answer to those questions, I've spent so much time focusing on those definitions that I never really defined Me.


I mean I could be the Writer....


the Photographer....


the Fat Girl.....[it's mean, but it's true, I'm overweight and thats how I sometimes feel]


the Nerd....


the Godly Teacher [I had someone call me that yesterday because I explained the Ten Commandments and Jesus' commandments to us to someone]



Who are you?


the Religious nut....[I've been called that before]


the Jock....


Preppy.....


the Skinny girl.....


the Ugly guy...
when I really sit and think about it, like I'm doing right now, I remember....I'm not really supposed to define myself....God is....Other people should not define us....Jesus should...


So.....let's see....Who are we in Jesus' eyes?




Who I am in Christ

I found this and I think it's amazing, this is how God see's me, this is how God see's you. true the world may not see us this way, but God is bigger. 
So something we need to keep reminding ourselves about is....The World shouldn't define us....God Should....

thanks for taking this journey with me as I discover myself once again, I am a New Creation, I hope you were as blessed by this thought as I was.

God Bless
