Who am I?
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure…” Hebrews 6: 19
Recent happenings have caused me to doubt my sanity and my personality and, essentially, my person.
“Who am I? And what am I?”
And then,
today I went to the Daughter’s of St Paul and Sr J showed a video she made:
and I realised, that it doesn’t matter who I am. It doesn’t matter that I am being told I am not the person I’ve always thought myself to be, it doesn’t matter that everything around me is changing, it doesn’t matter that in the next few months or even years, I, as a person, am going to go through so much change that the mere thought of it scares me.
What matters is that I anchor myself in Jesus. And when I have that one fixed point, everything else in my life can be variables that are so constantly changing that change is the only constant, I will still know who I am.
I am YOURS.
That is all that matters.
I am YOURS.
I am the child of God, the child He gave Himself for, the child He died for, the child He loves, the child whose hair on her head, He has counted, the child whose mission in life He already knows to the littlest detail, the child whose life is in the palm of His hands.
I am YOURS.

“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed a stronghold in times of trouble. A thousand may fall on your left; ten thousand on your right but no harm will befall you.”
All we have to do is follow our Lord, safe in His protection while events happen all about us.
God bless you on your journey – May you enjoy your Lord and Saviour for ever and ever

sorry to burst your bubble love but my blogroll’s alphabetically arranged. ha ha.
and I migrated because I felt it was time for a change so no, you didn’t miss anything. I’ll still be posting over “the other side” for a while more.

What matters is that I anchor myself in Jesus …
Understanding of the above is the blessing that shows us the only way out from current mess. I am so glad for you didn’t miss that magical door but accepted God’s grace by loud professing of our Lord. While the knowledge of the Bible explains what is what to us, loud thanksgiving transforms our dreams into awe inspiring works of faith. When we anchor ourselves in Jesus, God opens our eyes and we recognize ourselves in the eyes of one other for welcoming one other we could praise our Lord not in words but by our new life.
Be well my dear friend.
