A year without makeup…
A year without a full closet…
A year without 20 choices of shoes…
A year without family and home….
So many of these things are what I use to find my identity in. Every morning I wake up, go to my closet, find an outfit that suits myself and my personality, go to my bathroom, do my hair and makeup to feel comfortable in how I look and head out the door. These things I seek a identity in and at the end of this year I won’t have any of it. This has been on my mind 24/7, almost thinking what am I going to do…crazy right?
As I have prayed about this, most nervous about packing and all that I WONT have, God has laid on my heart that through this experience I will find a new identity. In fact, it’s already started now. I won’t find who I am in what I wear, how I do my hair or makeup, or even who my friends and family are. I will find my identity in Christ and Christ alone. A beloved daughter who longs to be loved by my Father and serve Him the best I can.
My prayer request this week:
God shows me who I am in Christ
I continue to draw strength in His name to calm my nerves and stress
I continue to dig deeper into God’s word and He pours His wisdom into my heart
Blessings,
Maria 🙂
