Who You Are
============

I find myself on the downhill slide of yet another trial in my
life where confusion seemed to be the only thing I was sure of.

. 
Who, what, why, when, how, and how long were the questions I
didn’t have answers for.

.
 
Last night, I sat quietly and instead of asking,
I just listened.

. 
God whispered to me.

.
 
Who I am is a child of His.

.

 What I am is a wife and mother.

. 
Why is something we can only figure out as we go along.
When is always and can never be more than right here and right
now (live for today).

.
 
How is only with His help, and how long depends mostly on us.

. 
He explained to me that I am who and what I am
(don’t try to be any more or any less) therefore I need to do
and be the best that I can at all times.

. 
I get discouraged,
but I also have the ability to inspire and be inspired.

. 
I become sad sometimes,
but I can also experience joy.

.
 
I can become angry,
but I have the heart to console.

. 
I need to be forgiven sometimes (a lot)
but I can also forgive.

.
 
I feel helpless at times,
but can still lend a hand or ear to help others.

. 
I am a teacher,
but I still have much to learn.

. 
I get confused,
but deep down I know the answers are within my grasp.

. 
It is the same grasp that boldly lifts my hands to Heaven,
and gently brings me to my knees.

.
 
Sometimes I feel lost,
but that is merely an illusion because it is not only enough for
my Father to know where I am and exactly what I am going
through,

.
 
He has every hair on my head numbered.

.
 
Life is a series of lessons to be learned.
That is the only way we can grow.

. 
I wish I had all the answers, but sometimes I think (I know) the
only way for us to become stronger and grow into what He wants
us to be, is to walk through the fire.

.
 
So, whatever you’re going through, hold your head up, guard your
heart, and put all your faith and trust in the only ONE who will
never fail you……. JESUS…….

.
 
Remember all the things you can be even when you are sometimes
those things you wish you weren’t.
