Remember Who You Are!

This is what I want to say to you, particularly my female friends. You have been and you will always be a queen, a daughter of the King. That is your identity. But it takes a few seasons of your life to realize that you have put on, you are wearing other pieces of identity. And then when those seasons shift or those things go away or those people change and you feel like your ground is shaking, you feel like things are moving underneath you, you're like, oh my gosh, it— you feel a loss because you don't realize that a part of your identity was in the thing, the person, the season, the money, the location, people calling your name. So you have to know that your identity has never been in any of the things that will change, ever. The day you were born, my hope is that you had someone in your life that told you that they loved you. And if you didn't, my hope is that you know that God loves you and that he danced the day you were born. And that before you did anything, went to school, got A's, joined the honor society, got in the Spanish club, that you were the track star, or maybe you were the president of your class, before you went to college, got the degree, got the master's degree, got the job, got the second paying job, quit and then got one because you were trying to make sure that they paid you what you were worth, before you got the other car, before you met and married, before you became became a mom, before those kids left, before you got skinny, before you gained the weight and got comfortable with who you were when you looked in the mirror, before any of those things, and despite any of those things, you were royalty.
