Who am I?

WHO AM I?

I took this picture when I was flying in the mid West two years ago. 

It was the most beautiful sky ever. 

I never felt so close to God as I did this day. 

The clouds to the right of this picture look like Angels to me. 

I felt like they were following me, talking to me, giving me hope. 

Whenever I see this I feel....warm.....loved.....close to my Maker. 

It makes me wonder 

Who Am I? 

Well, I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, neighbor, co-worker, volunteer. 

I have been a wife for 27 years. 

He is the best. I couldn't love anyone more than I love my husband. 

Well, my son. I am a mother for 24 years, and I love my son. 

I love my family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, people I volunteer with. 

I may not like everyone, but who does? 

Not everyone likes me either, so it all balances out! 

 

But lately, I have had many a conversation with many 

people who seem to identify who they are with who is currently in their life.

For example, if someone is "alone" (without mate) they feel they are not "whole" 

If they don't have a husband, child...they feel, broken. 

I think I understand this. 

I have lost people I love

It hurts

And for a lifetime there is a missing piece. 

But do these "roles" I have in my life, make me who I am? 

What if there was NO ONE on earth but me? 

You've seen the movies

The whole earth blows up and there is only ONE guy left 

and he searches and searches for other humans

I would too! 

Don't get me wrong

Life would be very very hard with out those I love.

But, 

WHO AM I? 

What or better yet, WHO DEFINES ME? 

 Psalm 139:13-16 says

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. 

God himself formed me
He defines who I am
My hair color, my eyes
My genes My DNA
HE made me who I am in my mother's womb
Knitted me together it says
He knew me before I was
He created my soul
He made sure my mom and dad got together 
He made sure they had me
He wrote my name in His book
He knows the hairs on my head! 
He knows the days I have here on earth
He knows the hour, the minute, the way I will take my last breath

No one else knows this about me
Only God
So
Who Am I? 

Yes, I am a wife, mother, sister, etc
And I don't want to live without those people in my life
But more than ANYTHING else in this life
More than ANYONE in this life
I am HIS! 
I am a child of God
HE defines me
Not my husband, nor my son, 
nor my friends, family or anyone else
God Almighty tells me who I am! 
First and Foremost, 
I am a child of the One True King! 
That makes me a Princess! 
 The one who knows how many hairs are on my head! The ONE who made my very soul

Gosh it doesn't get any more personal than that! 

Who Am I?
I am His
