Identity

For the past couple of months I have been really struggling with a lot. And especially being adopted. Now that I am this age, I have been really struggling with my identity. And a couple months ago, it hit me... I thought that maybe some of my identity issues was because of all my adoption and stuff. I didn't know much about it at the time, and I wanted to know more. I became very bitter towards my family members and others... It wasn't good. I thought I knew what the best was for me, when really it wasn't the time for me to know. 

Finally, my parents told me everything, it was very hard to take. But I am so glad that I know now. 
After I found out, I was still struggling with my identity. It really confused me, because I thought that since I knew everything, that was my identity. After a couple weeks, it hit me...
My identity is not from my parents, or my friends or anyone or anything else.... My identity is in God. 

If I have God, that is what my identity is. 

It has really helped me to know that my identity is in Christ. Even though sometimes I have a hard time with it, I know that it is true. 

I am so blessed to be able to finally realize this awesome truth.
