Threads of Identity
Threads of Identity

Identity is at the very core of who you are. It’s what makes you… well, you. How you identify yourself shapes your personality, your “look”, and ultimately your heart. From a young age you have had the choice to become and grow into the person you hope to be. Of course, over the years your idealistic self changes and evolves. That’s natural, healthy even. Although, there is one thread of your identity that can never be pulled, ripped or frayed. This seam is strong and without give. The best part is, it exists within you and me.

Why God Must Be at the Center of Our Quest for Identity
Why God Must Be at the Center of Our Quest for Identity

Growing up, I didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about my identity. I didn’t sit at home and ponder why I was the way I was. I didn’t spend much time contemplating my decisions or trying to be a certain way. I was just me. For the most part, I really liked who I was. But as an adult, I began to process my identity more and more. Why did I act a certain way? Why did people say hurtful things about me? Why did that situation bother me so much? Why was I the way I was? What was my identity?

Stop with the Negative Self-Talk
Stop with the Negative Self-Talk

For the month of April, I did 30 days of prayer and fasting. I focused on trying to find my identity in Christ and figure out where my relationship with God is. If I’m being honest, it has been a struggle. Finding my identity in Christ has been such a journey. One thing I want to say to all the people reading this is… finding your identity and who you truly are takes time. You’re not just going to discover who God created you to be overnight. Hair, makeup, clothes, and stuff like that is NOT your identity. Your identity is who you’ve chosen to be in life and who you’ve decided to be in Christ.

Unrefined, but Loved, Creation in Progress
Unrefined, but Loved, Creation in Progress

There are dozens of versions of me I imagined as a child. Research scientist, doctor, gymnast, and a dozen more before I graduated high school. Even when I thought I had figured things out in college, my path changed again. The older I got, the more reality hit, and the more I worried I would see myself as a disappointment. I wasn't in med school. I wasn’t on my way to six figures. I didnt know how to reconcile the dreams I had as a kid with the reality of my desires and abilities as an adult. How could I look at myself in the mirror if I just became "this?” Who would care about the girl who does "that" for a living?

What is a crowned chic?

A Crowned Chic embraces her unique qualities and wears them with honor. She gracefully accepts her faults and weaknesses, acknowledging that she will never be perfect. She is crowned with confidence, believing in and accepting herself. She is beautifully flawed, yet everything she is supposed to be. Her worth is found from within, for she does not seek outside approval. Her spirit is matchless and her soul wild. She faces her challenges with wisdom and discernment. She radiates resilience and her attitude empowers other women. She picks up her crown, smiles and places it upon her head. She wears it proud, accepting her position with dignity.

“Identity is at the very core of who you are. It’s what makes you… well, you. How you identify yourself shapes your personality, your “look”, and ultimately your heart. From a young age you have had the choice to become and grow into the person you hope to be. Of course, over the years your idealistic self changes and evolves. That’s natural, healthy even. Although, there is one thread of your identity that can never be pulled, ripped or frayed. This seam is strong and without give. The best part is, it exists within you and me.”⁣ ⁣ What is that thread you ask? Find out by reading the rest of @hippsternikkster’s post on the blog now!
“When your identity is in Christ, then Jesus and His expectations of you are the standard. We need that standard; otherwise, we leave ourselves open to the opinions and standards of every person we meet. That’s a lot to live up to! One person might want you to be more outspoken, while the next person wants you to keep your opinions to yourself. Which person is right? If you run around trying to please everyone, you will have nothing left of yourself. Your true identity will be replaced by the opinions of others.”⁣ ⁣ Truth 💣 from @kellyjoyfjestad’s latest blog.
“Growing up, I didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about my identity. I didn’t sit at home and ponder why I was the way I was. I didn’t spend much time contemplating my decisions or trying to be a certain way. I was just me. For the most part, I really liked who I was. ⁣ •••⁣ But as an adult, I began to process my identity more and more. Why did I act a certain way? Why did people say hurtful things about me? Why did that situation bother me so much? Why was I the way I was? What was my identity?⁣ •••⁣ For as long as I can remember, I have been taught, as a Christian, my identity is in Christ. I am a daughter of the King. If I put my identity in anything else, it won’t last. But what does that really mean? How do I know if my identity is really in Christ?”⁣ ⁣ There are times we all ask ourselves that question... if we’re being honest. Find out about @kellyjoyfjestad’s revelation by reading today’s post!
“Think about “I am” statements. Now, this is a very important phrase in your life. It tells you so much about what you believe about yourself, how you treat yourself and, as a result, how you treat others.⁣ ⁣ Do you choose to get yourself down by this kind of internal commentary?⁣ ⁣ ❌“I AM” UGLY. ⁣ ⁣ ❌ “I AM” FAT.⁣ ⁣ ❌ “I AM” UNLOVED.⁣ ⁣ ❌ “I AM” ALONE.⁣ ⁣ ❌ “I AM” NOT AS GOOD AS EVERYBODY ELSE. ⁣ ⁣ ❌ “I AM” ORDINARY. ⁣ ⁣ But let me tell you one thing, YOU ARE NOT ANY OF THESE! Instead of all that negative junk, tell yourself:⁣ ⁣ 💛 “I AM” BEAUTIFUL!⁣ ⁣ 💛 “I AM” THE PERFECT SIZE! THIS IS HOW GOD CREATED ME TO BE!⁣ ⁣ 💛 “I AM” LOVED!⁣ ⁣ 💛 “I AM” NOT ALONE!⁣ ⁣ 💛 “I AM” JUST AS GOOD AS EVERYBODY ELSE! ⁣ ⁣ 💛 “I AM” UNIQUE!⁣ ⁣ Don’t just tell yourself this because I said so. Actually mean it when you say it!”⁣ ⁣ Our writer, Cabella Joy Fjestad has got it right... SO right. Negative self-talk gets the best of us. Doesn’t it? ⁣ ⁣ You NEED to go read the rest of this girl’s words. It’s on the blog!

How could I look at myself in the mirror if I just became "this?” Who would care about the girl who does "that" for a living?⁣ •••⁣ I could not divorce the idea that I needed to be someone and do something that was impressive. I needed people to know my name and maybe even envy me a bit. It was exhausting always feeling like I wasn't enough or hadn't done enough to be a somebody. But I didn’t know how to let it go. I couldn’t be a nobody, and that is all that mattered.”⁣ ⁣ We can appreciate @kendra.cagle’s words of honesty. How often do you hear a woman actually fess up to her feelings of inadequacy? ⁣ ⁣ You can read the rest of this remarkable woman’s post on the blog.
“I couldn't have gotten here on my own merits. The life I had planned would not have strengthened me or fulfilled me the way the last five years has. God did that for me. I clung to Him for some kind of comfort and identity and He got to work. He showed me everything He had been waiting to do in my life, while I was running around trying to be famous. ⁣ •••⁣ I am a somebody because God grew me into someone. I am successful because God has given me the strength to provide a safe and loving environment for my child. I don't make money. I don't have a fancy work title. But I'm becoming the woman God created me to be. That's who I am. I am unfinished and unrefined, but I am a loved creation in progress.”⁣ ⁣ @kendra.cagle is a dedicated momma to a young boy, and although she pictured her life to look a bit differently, God has been the one to define her. Not her role as a stay-at-home mom. ⁣ ⁣ Read the rest of her incredible post on the blog now! 👏🏻
