letting go.

of competition.
of the need to do it all.
of feeling inadequate.
of comparing.
of jealousy.
of feeling neglected.
forgotten.
replaced.
of judgement.
of assumptions.
of pity parties.
of finding value here.

I was bought and paid for.
though completely unworthy of it, I am loved.
I am a child of God.
that alone defines me.
not who I am as wife.
or a mother.
or a photographer.
or a friend.

I only seek for my identity to be found in Christ.

How I desperately want, and need to let go of it all.
Knowing peace comes from utmost trust. Utmost faith. Utmost devotion.

Happy 600 blog posts. May my Savior receive all the glory for everything I do.

Create in me a clean heart, Oh God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away,
From thy presence oh Lord
Take not thy Holy Spirit from me
Restore unto me, the joy of thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me...
