There was a time in my life when I was a wife, a mother, a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a cousin, a friend, a coworker, a teacher, a softball coach, a cheer sponsor, a student, and a church worker. All at the same time. Not to mention my duties as cook, housekeeper, driver, accountant, costume designer, party planner, decorator, nurse, tutor, handy man, counselor, and “pull the hat out of the bag” miracle maker.

And here’s the crazy part. With so many titles and so many responsibilities, I had absolutely no idea who I was. I was so lost in doing for others that I couldn’t find myself in the chaos.

But you know what I realized? I didn’t have to. I didn’t have to find myself. I didn’t have to know who I was as a woman with many titles, overwhelming responsibilities, and so many people counting on me.

I only needed to know who I was in Christ.

I would do the best I could, but His opinion of how I was doing was all that mattered.

I would give myself to every person who needed me, but first I would give myself to Him.

I would run around fulfilling all my duties, but at the end of the day, I would surrender it all to Him.

I would not define myself by any title given to me by man. I would define myself by the one title given to me by God--Daughter of the King.

I may never know who I am as a woman. But, I know exactly who I am as a child of God--I am His.

Love and hugs,
Kathy
