It all began with a question…Who do you say I am?
Mother, wife, administrative assistant, CAD designer, events coordinator, ‘behind the scenes person’,' non-dreamer’, shy, not a person of substance, too high of a feeler, mentor, friend. These are some of my true identities and some of my false identities that I have collected over the years.
For most of my life as a believer, I had let these false Identities rule my life and unfortunately sculpt who I gave back to this world. In 2016 I set off on a journey of discovering my true identity in Christ. This journey has been one of freedom as I discovered the lies and fears, that I allowed, to keep me from discovering my true identity in Christ. Ultimately this identity journey has had me face my biggest lie - that I didn’t have a voice and that I had no substance. In facing these lies and fears I ended up finding my voice. I found my purpose.
You see, Jesus calls me His Sweet one, His Identity Reconciler, His Way Maker, His Mind Shifter. What does all of this mean? He is asking me to guide others, by speaking truth in love, to reconciling their identity back to who God created them to be, and how Jesus sees them and speaks to them. Through my own journey of discovery, Jesus has carved a new path. He has shown me a new way to think and move through this process that is unique to me in my identity.
