In the book, In Our Shoes, by Rachel Lovingood and Jennifer Landrith, they suggest trying to describe yourself without using the words daughter, wife, or mom. (take time to do this). Is this hard for you to do? Sometimes we can lose "our" identity because we're too busy being what someone else needs or wants us to be. In their book, they ask "Do you ever hide the real you behind your husband's job description or your children's accomplishments?" These are tough questions to ask and think about, aren't they!
Now, think about these words from their book: " We are all the Designer's originals, created differently to fulfill specific purposes. Remember that you as a ministry wife-and as a woman, for that matter-were created for a purpose that's yours alone.
Strive to be the woman God designed you to be, trusting that He knows exactly what He is doing."
Pray and ponder these thoughts today and see what God may show you.
