Who I am?

Who are you?
We as women some times loose who we are. We do not realize it we are busy being daughters, moms,and wives that we wake up one day and we ask ourself who are we? What happened to me. I am so and so's mom and his wife but who I am to me. Better yet who I am in God.
David knew who he was and whose he was and like David, God wants this for us. He wants us to know who we are as well as whose we are. We get so lost in life that we do not explore. Well God does not see us as all these things we are to others. He sees us as his child. We are his daughters and his little princesses. We should act like it and I don't mean by being good and living for him, that should be understood, I mean in the way we treat ourselves.
Most of us women are selfless. Read that carefully I did not say selfish I said selfless. We are the last person we take in consideration. (most of us) We buy the kids clothes and we go with out, we don't pick the restaurant the family is going to we go with the flow. We support our husbands and children in their dreams but we either give ours up or we hide them deep down. We live in the shadow of our families. Guess what? God does not want us to live that way.
He loves each of us as if we are his only daughter. He sees us as we look into our mirror and say those bad things to ourselves. It hurts his heart. He wants us to be his princess. He wants us to look our best too. This is something I need to work on. Being home bound most of the town frumpy seems to be my style. We are daughter's of the King and we should look the part. Take pride in our appearance. I know all of us here are sick and putting on make up and doing our hair maybe the last thing we wish to do, but we should. For one it will make us feel better, two it will be a witness to others who are sick to they will want to know where our strength comes from. We need to be a reflection of our Daddy.
Our earthly fathers can get ashamed of us. My dad was really good at cutting me down. Even as an adult he can make me feel the size of an ant. I love him dearly but I do not feel I ever made him proud.
My heavenly Father is not ashamed of me though. He proudly covers us in a royal robe, stands us in front of our critics and accusers and with pride he boasts she is mine.

I agree with you. God wants us to be happy and take care of ourselves as well as our families. Sometimes we tend to forget about ourselves and focus on others. Think that's okay as long as we want to do what we would like to do every once in while and take care of our own needs at the same time. -

Yes you are right I do put myself last and end up taking care of everyone else. I never thought of God thinking that way of me. That is so wonderful, brings tears to my eyes:) Now if I can just get that into my heart to where I believe and know it, then I can act like it. -

it is true and I know it is hard to believe it did not come to me over night and at times I still don't feel this way. If you stick with me though we will learn together to believe. -

I totally believe it hurts His heart to hear the things I say about myself and the things I say to myself in the mirror and even the things I can't say but think. But my question is, how do I start thinking of myself in positive ways instead of the negative ones I have taught and been taught by others? I had gastric bypass a couple of months ago and things are going well but I am truly struggling with self image. Any ideas?
