When I’m at my parent’s house in Michigan, I love going down
to the water (Lake Huron is in their backyard). The Lord always seems to meet me
there, and I just sit with Him on the pier and enjoy just being.
All my life pretty much I have been a doer, constantly on
the go. And many times, I was defined by what I did or the position of life I was in-student, tennis player, teacher. But this past season of my life in Georgia was marked more by being,
learning what it means to sit and just be in the Presence of God, and abiding in Him
constantly.
I have a deeper intimacy with the Lord, and He has shown me
more of who He is. As a result, I have grown in my identity.
It’s not what I do that defines me. That’s not where my
identity lies. My identity lies in whose I am. I am His child and just being
with Him has helped me become and realize more of who I am. I am still becoming, as I always will be, but knowing whose
I am has grown me in who I am.
I’m thankful that I serve a God who wants me to just be with Him, and in turn that propels me toward doing. And I’m thankful for
a season where I got to learn more about just being…
