It's weird being in a place in my life where I am not involved in ministry. Since I resigned from Children's Ministry I've been instructed not to jump into anything and just sit and be refreshed for awhile. Many who serve/volunteer on a regular basis would think that an incredible opportunity, but honestly I am struggling with it. I feel as if I am wandering around my church, lost, not exactly sure where I fit in anymore. I've lost my title and in that it's almost as if I've lost my identity.
Leading in Children's Ministry shouldn't have defined who I am, but I think it did and I guess I need to work myself out of that mindset, because now I am looking for where I fit and the next definition of who I am so I can find my identity again. Now, I'm not always the sharpest crayon in the box, but I know enough to know that my title/position isn't who I am - it may be a part of what I do, but it's not who I am. So, that made me ask myself who I really am. All i came up with was titles - mom, wife, business owner, church member, friend, etc. How do we get out of the place where who we are is not what we do? I'm not sure I can even begin to answer that for myself.
I know Whose I am, but who am I really and how do I define that without titles? If you know the answer to this, I'm listening!
