Five Minute Friday: Identity
Go.
awhile ago my four year old sis in law came to spend a week with us. i think that was the first time i heard someone refer to me as "grace's mommy". usually my kids get their identity from me, but it was nice to get my identity from them.
identity should be a natural result of the things we love.
grace's mommy.
abi's mommy.
friend.
bible study leader.
Christ follower.
wife.
daughter.
sister.
identity is the hats i wear. but it is also the way i relate to people. identity is hard. sometimes it is easy to lose. sometimes we don't recognize when it changes. i was thinking that although my name will never change who i am might...but thats not even true because my name did change. and with it, my identity. hmmmmmm.
Stop.
such an insightful statement" Identity should be a natural result of the things we love." Visiting from 5mF...Happy Mother's Day, early :)
ReplyDeleteit is pretty great to be known by our kids - my first son's name is asher and early on i made my screen name for a lot of things "ashersmama." even 5 kids later, i use the same screen name.
