Finding you identity can seem like a lot of work, but it is wok that you can reflect on a build off of everyday. You can use it in how you relate to others and understand yourself better. You can see yourself from more angles to really press into knowing yourself.

This can be a loaded question that can come up pretty often in some circles.Which if you do not have an answer to you may feel insignificant or that you have missed something. Do not worry you do not need to know your purpose down to the last detail. I do recommend you take some time to examine your passions, hobbies and what stirs your heart and think about your purpose or what you would like to accomplish. Your life is valuable and you have a lot of potential. Whether you are old and young it is not too late to leave a legacy that can live on for thousands of years. seemingly little things have a BIG impact

Personality quizzes can help you to see yourself in a different light. Answering some questions about how you react to certain things, make decisions, why you do things and how well you answer different questions can provide insight. There are so many quizzes out there with different results and insights. It would be wise to use caution while taking quizzes and applying them to your life.

We need to really examine what the Bible says about us as a framework to refer to throughout our life. We can easily get caught up in what media and cultural norms tells us, but really we need the Truth, we need God’s Word.

There are things that are true, but not the Truth about you because they change. For example, your age, your marital status and your job. You may be 35 year old, married women, mother of a 2 year old child, works for GEICO and enjoys yoga, which could be true, but will it be true next year?

Knowing God is paramount to finding out why He made you and the intricate personality you have. You are made in God’s image, in order to get to know yourself you need to know Him your creator. He is alpha. He is the starting point to figure out who you are.

I am starting a series about finding your identity because it is very important not only for you, but for every life you will change. The questions of who are you and what you are passionate about can seem daunting, but it is possible and important to know. When you know yourself it will help immensely in your life during all the season you experience and this crazy roller-coaster we call life.

When you see this picture? What do you think about the person? What do you think about this person’s work ethic, intelligence, discipline, value to society and health?

There was recently a picture of someone with extra body fat posted in an advertisement and there was an uproar (link: https://www.yahoo.com/gma/gillette-posted-photo-plus-size-model-twitter-couldnt-014741290.html). I know with social media everything gets a big uproar, but we need to stop and think about how we view this person. 

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
~ 1 John 2:15-16

We have a tendency to focus on temporary things that are not important in the grand scheme. It is extremely easy to get caught up with social media, what we look like, what other people think, our bank account, getting the car, getting the house and the list goes on. We start focusing on things that can be gone in an instant! Houses, reputations, looks, money can be gone in one tragic accident.
