Regaining a Sense of Identity

I have been somewhat ambling through life as of late. I realized after talking to some very wise gals at my small group that I do not feel a sense of purpose or identity anymore, which is an altogether new feeling to me. I have really prayed about this and sought God and I now believe and am convinced that I have lost my identity in Christ. Not that I have lost Christ but I have forgotten where my true purpose and self lies. I am not sure if anyone else feels this way.

Especially for women, I think it becomes hard when we become wives and then later mothers. It seem that for me I put so much work and effort into my marriage and my children that I started believing that my identity was just that and only that.

That saddens me in some respects because I have kind of lost myself. This year I am attempting to realign my identity with Christ and to recapture some of my old passions that I used to have in Him.

Hopefully as I reevaluate myself and truly and passionately seek God and seek to find my identity, my passion for being a wife and a mother will reignite.

(P.S. I do not say this to mean I do not passionately love my husband or my children. I love them with everything. But I have realized that I must first find God and my passion for God above all else)
