identity (yeah, again)

do any of us really know who we are? apparently, i don't. like at all. there's a disconnect between who i am and who i think i am.

i've never realized that i'm not who i think i am. this is who i recognize myself as being: needy, awkward, annoying, blundering and clingy. and i had totally accepted this as truth. and lived based on the fact that these things were who i was.

apparently, this is not me at all. who knew? apparently people see me as individual, free-spirited, creative, and independent. this is exactly who i've wanted to be for my whole life. guys, i am who i want to be. that's so freeing.

so why the disconnect? the enemy. 100%. he tries to get us to see ourselves differently than God sees us so we won't be confident in the things the Lord asks us to do.

it's mind-blowing that i never realized any of this until last night. i'm ready to step into who i am. so i'm running with the identity that the Lord placed on me.
