identity's definition: the fact of being who or what a person or thing is
i thought that a person can have only one identity ... but i think that was a misconception on my end. i don't like having a lot of faulty understandings, but it seems like i have many .. haha.
but yeaaaa, in my asian american studies class, my professor was talking about understanding his identity as a bi-racial american.
for me, i thought being a Kingdom Child was my only identity, but maybe God wants me to know what it's like to be a Japanese Korean American ... IDK. but as the Professor was talking about the issues of growing up without having a solid identity/confidence in his identity it touched a few of my heart strings.
recently, "to be" has been what my mind and heart draws to. what's it like to simply be?
psalms 46:10
Be still and know that I am God.
Being still is something I have a hard time doing. What does that mean? What does that look like? I've reentered a baby stage. I've reentered the basics.
I guess this season can be the season of finding myself. Finding or exploring who God created me to be. Sometimes, I look back at my past, my childhood and I yearn to be free in expressing myself without being so self-conscious. Haha, but then that's on me, cause that means i'm focusing too much on myself... no? that's funny... and a bit liberating to know that the cause of my own worries and anxieties is myself.
Abba, can you help me to stop thinking so much about myself and help me to BE. be who you've created me to be.
