identity crisis
As I was commenting on someone's blog (Corey's to be exact) I noticed the "Choose an identity" part. Ok, I've seen it hundreds of times, but for some reason it struck me today and made me chuckle.Every day I have the choice of where my identity will come from. Actually, hundreds of times a day! And the only identity worth living for? Jesus Christ. My identity is in Him. Can't say I'm very good at remembering that, and living like it. But I know that it is ultimately in Him. Not in my looks, my voice, my wit (or lack thereof), my charm, my ability to make friends, my ability to speak or sing in front of large groups of people, my driving skillzzz, etc. etc. You can fill in your own blanks...like your ability to take pictures or write great blog entries. They're all wonderful things, and can bring great glory to God, but I don't want them to define who I am or be where I find my identity. Nope. No siree. (is that how it's spelled??)
Anyway, thanks for reading my rambling. So the next time you log in to make that first comment and it asks you to "choose your identity", I hope it makes you think of where your identity is. If you know Jesus personally, yay! If not, I hope & pray that one day you will. There is no greater joy, hope, peace in life.
Enjoy the journey, folks!

I love reading your posts, Rebecca. They are so thought-provoking. My identity? Not sure I could pinpoint it - I'm just me, living life the best I can and be the best me I can be :)
Amen! That goes long with something Sean and I experienced last week, that I really need to tell you about. You won't believe it even if I tell you. I miss you! :( _Sarah Smith
Amen sister.....
I love Corey's blog. I am glad that you like it too! :) Hope that your week is going well. Our list of "things to do together in London" seems to be getting longer and longer! I can't wait...get here soon!
I'm glad I could help you...in an indirect sort of way.
Interesting post!
