New identity

I am so excited about my daughter. About being a mom. About watching my best friend/husband becoming a dad. 

So excited...

That I didn't know that it was going to be be so hard. So hard to walk away. To lay down those five keys. 

I sobbed. like a baby. 

I worked there for 10 years and ended as the assistant manager. As I walked away, down deep inside I felt like I lost a part of my identity. 
I felt heartbroken with all those very real relationships although complicated, will never be the same.  Those relationships that took years to strengthen.  Those will never be the same. Surprised at the pain that sliced my heart when a friend teased me about being unemployed.  I was unaware that my job made me feel like I was a part of the puzzle and that it gave me importance. 


My new earthly identity will be "mom". 
Only one more week. A dream that I have been dreaming since high school. One I truly never believed would come true. 
will never forget that day that my husband said "we are going to have a Chinese daughter". 

God has given the dream and is leading is beyond our expectations. 

I knew but forgot....
As a Christian, things can't give me importance. By myself, I am nothing. 

need to lay it all down. 
Falling at His feet. 

Only through, Jesus' saving grace, we ARE important. 
He tells us we are HEIRS of His. We are princesses and kings. We have our new identity. 

Only what is done for Christ will last.
