Well here I am again, WAY behind on my list of blessings! This time, the farther behind I got the less I wanted to write. I was feeling guilty and embarrassed about being so behind, no more! I decided I will just pick back up writing three blessings a day and not stay bogged down by the long list, there's grace here, right? I can't let my guilt and embarrassment about being behind keep me from publicly counting my blessings, it's too important!
Thank you all for reading and for walking through this with me!
Today:
1. A flexible job that allows me to recuperate after a long day. It was a huge blessing to rest a little before coming in this morning!
2. Working among friends
3. New mercies every morning, and weekends at the end of every long week!
I've been working through and struggling through the idea of identity. I think God has been trying to teach me this lesson my whole life, but I've defined it as other things. He's taken and is taking me through various trials to lead me to find my identity in Him. It's amazing how hard I can make life when I seek to find my identity in other things, such as my work, other people's opinions of me, where I live, who I spend time with, if I'm alone and the list goes on! There is so much freedom in finding my identity in Christ, I am His daughter! But for some reason I still daily fight this battle and am daily left crushed when I seek validation in everything and everyone other than my Savior.
I'm so thankful for His patience with me, and thankful that He's brought to light this struggle of mine.
Seeking, failing, and clinging to His promises.....
God is good!
