Who Am I?

                                                                                                   

Who am I?

I was speaking to a young adult about things going on in her life. She could not figure out why things weren't working for her. I asked about the decisions that she makes. Why do you make these decisions? She said she didn’t know. I asked her “who are you?” Because her decisions seem to be sporadic. The choices she was making were not consistent and not following a plan or even a certain characteristic. 
So, I asked if her if she knows who she is. If we don't know who we are then we don't know what we stand for; and we don't know who we are; who we represent. As a young adult that is one of the first things that we need to learn to be successful at adulting and at long term decision making. 

We make our decisions from our values and our direction or vision for our lives. If we know where we want to go, then we make our decisions accordingly. If we are not confident in our abilities, our potential is limited therefore we limit our expectation as well.

When we add in faith we change the dynamics based on how much we will allow God to be a part of our lives. If we choose to limit God then we limit our possibilities. If we allow Him full access, then the possibilities are limitless and therefore we are along for the greatest ride of our lives.

You see, neither our situation, our need, nor our desires will move God into action. When we activate our faith that He wants to do and will do these things for us then we move the heart of the Almighty God. That’s when we see things begin to happen in the natural realm and we can see things change for our good. We just invite Him in to every situation and make Him the Manager of each one.

This can apply to anyone. Age has no barrier or influence in this. It is based on someone that can catch the principle and put it into action. When we know who we are, then we know what we are made of, where we're going and what we're looking for out of life. This will give us confidence, direction, safety and boundaries. It can even give us a lifestyle where before we had none and we are tossed around by anything that happens to come our way.

So open your Journal take a look at your mirror (the Bible) find out who you are. Decide on who you want to be. What type of character do you want to have? Even what personality do you want to have?  When we find out who we want to be we have our Direction and from that we can begin to make decisions accordingly.
