What is your identity? Who are you? I am Raelynn. I am almost twenty years old. I am a girl. I am a talker. I am athletic. I am compassionate, caring, and honest. All of these things and many more come together to make my physical self. But the question is, who am I in Christ? What is my identity in Christ? Seven weeks ago when I was in Swaziland, the topic of the week was discovering who we are in Christ. Now I have to admit, at the time I wasn't too interested in the subject. But now, almost two months later… it is what I am trying to figure out. So as I read my bible, talk to my leaders, and go back on my journal entries from Swaziland, I'm trying to figure this question out. I remember being told that we are born into an identity. However, we are always searching. Searching for something more, and putting our identity into that. God has called me to something in my life. God has called you to something in your life. And by being timid, or scared, you're looking God in the face and calling him a liar. By telling God I'm scared to open my heart up to my team and appear vulnerable I'm telling God that I do not trust him. That what he wants from me isn't  good enough. By being afraid to apply for that new job, go to a different school, or find a new career, you're telling God that his plan for your life isn't worthy enough. It isn't good enough for you. You're telling the God who created you that his calling on your life isn't good enough. God wants us to live a life like his while we are here on Earth. We are His will. One quote that sticks with me is the following, "If you will go, if you will follow me into risky and dangerous places - I will do so many things for you. My plan for your life is for you to do more then I ever did." As I flipped to a page in my journal, one thing stuck out to me. Gary Black, our speaker for the week in Swaziland said the following, " Most Christians tell you why you shouldn't do something, or that you're crazy for wanting missions for your life. But as they say this they are standing on the shore. If you stand on the shore, you will be bored and stupid." Don't let the world tell you what you cannot do. Don't let the world tell you who you are, or who you aren't. God has so much in store for our lives. Do not be scared of what God has in store for your life. Who is God to you? God is my Father. The Alpha and the Omega. My Savior. My Daddy. He is the one who has delivered me out of the huge pit of sin that I was trapped in for so long. He has opened my eyes to my abilities and my gifts. I am His daughter. I am worthy of the calling He has placed on my life. I am worthy of everything He wants to give me, and all of the situations that He wants to use me in. Figuring all of this out is not easy, it's a huge process. And to be honest, I have just begun it. I don't know the answers. I don't know what to do. But I am learning to trust Him. Trust that He knows what is best for my life. After all, he created me. He created me for a purpose. And only He knows what that purpose is and what the plan for my life is. So why wouldn't I trust Him, my Daddy?
