Here are just some of the many labels that I put on myself and that the world puts on me.

I was thinking about these today and I had a realization.

I always say that I know my identity and I know what defines me but it’s taken me a while to get to where I’m at. I can honestly say that I finally live out of something other than the labels put on me.

God’s labels are so much better and I’d much rather put those on myself any day.

I walk in the fact that I am…

- Beloved.

- A Royal Diadem.

- Rooted.

- Friend.

- Child.

- Most of all I am HIS.

What a beautiful thing it is to be loved so greatly by the God of the universe who cared enough to form me and create me into the woman that I am. I have a lot of work left to do but I am so thankful for the place that I’m at. I can’t wait for the even crazier adventures that God has for me down the road. I’m so excited.

So my words to you… don’t just acknowledge your identity in Christ. Walk in it. It makes all the difference.
