But something didn't feel right.
When God asked me to take a break for the year and be still - I gasped. We had just moved to Texas, and He thought I needed rest and family for awhile. I was thankful to Him and trusting He knew best. But in the time that followed, I realized my identity had become attached to my ministry work. Here is where I felt validation. Here is where I felt important. Who was I apart from it?
Even when what I do is good, right, and helps people...it can't become who I am. So, I've been auto-correcting during this sabbatical with Papa.
As a result of "time out," I've learned all about living inside the grace of one day; and listening for His voice and doing what He says.
I don't always succeed in this. But I can say that because I took that time, I have drawn closer to the Lover of my soul.
My true sole and soul identity is simple: I'm His beloved daughter who is listening and fulfilling the ideas that come from His mind by using the gifts He's given me. He's in everything!
Selah!
Matthew 28:20 - "I am with you always; even to the end of the age."
