Who am I

I absolutely love the song Who Am I, by Casting Crowns, every time I hear it, I truly am thankful for our Lord in Savior. But the question is
Who Am I? I know I am a wife, daughter, aunt, sister-in-law, etc. But Who Am I, other than that. It is so easy to get caught up in the everyday chaos, where it's norm to be referred to as Philip's wife, Michael and Nicole's aunt, Jeff and Kitsy's sister-in-law, and on and on. Did somewhere along the way, I lose my name? The real question, did somewhere along the lines I lose my identity? I can honestly say after much reflection and soul searching, yes I did. For the most part in a good way. I used to walk around with some pretty bad self esteem issues, I was very guarded with my heart, and people had a very hard time breaking down my barriers. I did not trust people, and didn't believe people could love me. It took my years to realize I have been loved all along, a love that never went away. God's love. So many time I resisted God, I resisted his love, I believed in my faith, I believed in him, but I was not ready to be belive I could be saved. Why would God want to save me, why would he want me as one of his Children, I am and will never be good enough. After my dad and step mom divorced, I hit rock bottom, my world was spinning out of control. Then one day it hit me, WHAM, I got the message, God loved me, he needed me on his side, and I needed him. I gave my life over to Jesus, and at the age of 21 I was baptized. Gone was the old and in was the new. I was on cloud nine. I will not sit here and say I was perfect, I will not say I lived a great Chrisian life from that point on. A few years later, the Devil made his way back into my life, and he stayed around this time, for three years. No matter what I did, I could not beat him, and by that time, I was weak, being strong was not an option. I was down on myself and the situation I was in, I became bitter, angry, because I was alone dealing with the Devil in human form, and he was attacking me and someone who I loved so much, who I wanted to help but did not have the faith nor the strength to fight this battle. I prayed, oh how I prayed, Lord please take me away, take me out of this situation, and he did, just not the way I expected it. I almost lost the one person who meant the world to me, and from that moment on, I knew what my purpose was, and what God needed me to do. I witnessed God's work that day, and have not looked back since. I have learned over time, I am not perfect, I will stumble, I will fall, and I will make some mistakes, but I know I have a very forgiving God, and I know no matter what he is always with me. So it goes back to ask the question, Who Am I? I finally learned, I am who I am, because of God, I am his child, and everything I am and will be, is because of him. I am thankful each and everyday, I get to be Philip's wife, Michael and Nicole's aunt, Jeff and Kitsy's sister in law, I am ever so thankful for that. I am also thankful God really has been impressing upon me to be more open to new things, not be so resistant, out of fear. There is a program I am going to be starting for our young girls and even our Pre-Teen/Teen girls. I am really excited about this, and pray God will lead me in the right direction, to make this a really great program. I pray those that feel lead to will help me in getting this program started. Most of all I pray that along my journey, I will not forget above all else, Who I Truly Am?
