Who Are You? (Part 1)

***We just wrapped up a great series of workshops at an annual conference called EMPOWER. The focus of the youth sessions revolved around discovering who we are, which of course, also prompts me to search myself for that answer...

Think on this for a second - How do YOU answer the question ’Who Are You?...???

When asked ’Who Are You?’, we tend to instinctively define ourselves by what we DO. We can provide a laundry list of titles and achievements that we’ve racked up for ourselves over the years. It’s also easy to catalog our favorite hobbies as a definition of who we are (i.e. – I’m a Wife, Foster Parent, Church Planter, Employee, Artist...)

We also at times automatically define ourselves by what we HAVE – material things, relationships, you name it. (i.e. – I’m a homeowner, I drive a [plug in car model here], etc.)

But to really get down to the foundation of WHO we are, it has nothing to do with what we HAVE or what we DO. Those things can change overnight, and if they do, it can shake our whole foundation...
