Lately, I have been thinking a lot about who I am and where I am going. It has become obvious to me that I have lost myself in the everyday fight to survive. I get caught up in all that seems urgent around me, the pressure and expectations put on me by others and myself. So much confusion and chaos ensues, and I am left reeling, wondering how I have managed to completely disappear under all of my responsibilities. I know that my identity is in Christ, and I know that I can find comfort and direction from His Word, but I have lost sight of who He created me to be and the joy that is to be found in every new day. So, as I prepare for a new year, I intend to dive into scriptures, books, prayer, and personality inventories. I am gathering all the thoughts and information in a single document, and with much prayer and maybe even fasting, I hope to discover some God-given direction for my life.
