Identity

This season that I’m in is all about identity. For so long I have relied on my identity as a worship leader, but I’ve had to come to a place of realizing that my identity cannot be my role in the church or my role as a leader. My identity has to be as a daughter of Christ first. I won’t lie; this hasn’t been very easy to swallow. But I’m learning to see the beauty of the way that God works, how He decides to deal with us, to prune us (thanks, Kristen) and take us through seasons where maybe we don’t understand why He is doing what He is doing, but trusting that He’s got something in store for us beyond what we can imagine. I started meditating on Proverbs 3:5 this morning. It’s such a typical verse, very well-memorized, but a different light is shone on the verse when you actually have to trust God when you don’t understand what or why. Something beautiful happens when you can genuinely come to that place of trusting Him, trusting that what He is doing is good, and it is for our benefit.
