So, it’s been a while! Finally the Lord has put words in my heart again, and I couldn’t be happier. As someone who writes a lot (and talks a lot!), it is very hard when I feel nothing in my spirit worth putting on paper. The past four months have been, well…crazy, what with moving to North Richland Hills and trying to start our lives here.
Something I have been thinking about a lot since then is the issue of identity. I thought I had a pretty secure grasp of my own identity, and then I left home. Ever since leaving home, God has been molding me and shaping me into something new. That is not to say that He has wiped the slate clean and started over with me, robbing me of my basic identity. I am still a girl from west Texas, who loves country music (much to my husband’s dismay! haha) and high school football.
But…
I am an adult now. Without college, or my parents, or even my status as wife and mother to define me, the Father is gently pushing me into my own. It’s been a little tough, I’m not going to lie. But the amazing part of this process is that I know what the clay feels like in the Potter’s hands. Let me tell you all, beloved, it is the ultimate comfort to relax into my Father’s lap after a day of being molded and shaped.
So, who are you becoming?
Love, Court

Hey Courtney! This is Danielle!
The Lord has been making me in a new person for quite some time now. Alot of that has been in how to be a wife to my husband, but like you said, alot has been in personal identity too.
I’ve gone from not knowing or caring for authority, to completely respecting it, no matter the area; family, even though it can be messed up, plays a huge role in our entirety; and the simple things bring so much joy!!
