Who am I?
Its a question that everyone asks themselves during their lifetimes. Its a question that humanity can't ever seem to figure out. More questions ensue, like:
What is my calling?
Why am I a part of this world?
A friend and I were talking a while back, and suddenly he asks me
"Who are you?"
Mind you, I'm talking to my best friend of 4 years, someone who possibly knows me as well, or better, than I know myself, so this question was a shocker.
I proceeded to list off things that describe who I am: A runner, a singer, a leader, a Spanish-lover.
Now, several months later, the same question keeps coming back up in my life.
I'm struggling so much lately with trying to decipher who I am, and what defines who I am.
Carrie Mills said in her Cornerstone once that, "What you do does not define you, rather, your worth is found in Christ."
Okay, so the first part kind of makes sense. Just because I run, sing, lead and speak Spanish, doesn't mean that is who I am. But the second part, what the heck?
How am I supposed to find my worth in Christ? What does that really even mean? How do I list things that I think Christ sees in me? Is that even what she meant by that?
This really has been getting heavier on my heart lately. I have a feeling that this will be a neverending struggle for me.
Its time I search a little bit deeper, farther, longer, harder,... more fervently for Who I am and all of the questions that follow.
