A Month of Growth

Australia was a month of so much personal growth.  God really began to show me what it means to find my identity in Christ and not how others viewed me.  For so long in my life I have let other people define my identity for me.  I listened to who THEY thought I was or how THEY thought I should act instead of listening to God.  I wanted so much to be accepted by my peers and the people I associated with that if there was a conflict between what they were saying and what God was saying I would push God to a back burner.  Once I realized that this person everyone was telling me I should be was a lie and not my true identity I stopped listening, but instead of listening to God I tried to do things my way and pick who I wanted to be.

This month God use my teammates to point out that I don’t have to go searching for my identity.  All I have to do is be still and listen to God as he tells me and shows me exactly who he created me to be.  My identity is already been established.  My identity already exists inside me.  I was created just like God wanted me to be I just have to trust in Him and the person I am.  

Once I started walking more in my identity just resting and trusting in God for my identity I started to become more aware of his love for me.  Everywhere I looked and the people I came in contact with God was showing his love for me.  He showed me his love for his children.  I have begun to see the people I come in contact with through his eyes more and more everyday.  There is so much more to God and how he moves in this world than I ever realized before.  He is so amazing and I learn this more and more everyday.  This month he has already moved me in so many ways and I know he still has more.  I can’t wait to see what is in store for the rest of this month.  Thank you all for your support and following my journey with me this year.  I love you all and God Bless.
