As you know, I’ve been swimming around in this new giant coat that God handed me at the beginning of the month. At first, like a child in her dad’s suit coat, I felt restricted and weighed down as I tried to move forward in the coat. When I looked in the mirror, the enormity of the jacket was all I could see. I began to lose sight of who I am, who God has designed me to be.
So, since in my mind I had already established the image of a child in an oversized suit coat, God (once again) chose to meet me where I was. One evening while in a time of prayer with my team God gave me the image of a little girl standing on her daddy’s feet dancing. He was reminding me of who I am and what our relationship looks like. My identity has nothing to do with the jacket I’m wearing. I answered God’s call, and met him in the kitchen that night, and we danced.
God IS my rock and foundation. When I start to lose sight of the strength I have in joy through him, he is gracious to flag me down and direct my attention to what is true. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…he is brilliant.
