who am I in Christ
(Originally published by Nattie on December 21, 2005)
There are times in my life when I flounder wondering who I am in Christ. There are days when my self worth is about [] that big. Especially on days when my children rave about the other woman in my ex-husband's life, about how great she is, and about what wonderful presents she gives, and about how pretty she is. And I keep reaching for something to remind me about who I am.
I don't need to put her down to remember that I am a daughter of the king and that the king is captivated by my beauty. But it is hard. And it has been a hard year.
There are times when you wish the devil didn't know the buttons to push on the back of your head like Mark Hall from Casting Crown says. There are times when you wish there was a bag of chips and french onion dip calling your name. Times when you didn't feel like drowning your sorrows in food instead of running to the comfort of the father. Abba, father.
Who am I? In the grand scheme of things I really am nothing, but in the heavenly scheme of things, other woman or not...I am His. I am called. I am an adopted daughter of the King. I am a princess. I am the crown of creation. And when my heart fails within me I know that He is my portion. And He never changes. Always and forever.
And I may not have glossy brown hair and be a cute petite latino blankity blank, but I am a tall sexthy hot mama with legs up to my neck and big blue eyes. So take that...oops. That was my flesh talking there for a second.

Oh my goodness...God so blessed her with her glimpses of that portion so many times.
