What are you signing your name to?



"God is constantly speaking life and identity. If we can agree with who He says we are, it will push momentum into our life. - Leslie Crandall.

That is a quote I came across on my IG feed the other day and I  have not been able to let it go.  
It was like a light bulb that went off in my head. If we could just agree with who God says we are. 

I have been asking myself  Do I agree? Do I believe I am a daughter? And it is my right? (John 1:12) 
Do I believe that I am accepted and loved? (Romans 15:7) 

Do I believe that I am full and lack nothing? (Col 2:9-10 Do I believe that I am no longer a slave to sin and that I am a new creation in Christ? Beautifully and wonderfully made? (Romans 6:6) Do I have the power within me to heal the sick and raise the dead? To drive out demons? And do I have that power in me to give as I have received? (Mathew 10:8)

Jesus the King of kings and Lord of Lords says that I not only carry all of these things in me but I'm also loved by Him and He rejoices over me with singing! But do I look back at these verses when I think about who I am? When I reflect on myself do I see a daughter? A warrior? A beloved? Or do I see a failure? a mess up? or just a mom with a top not and sweats who feels she just doesn't measure up to the moms around her? 

Sisters.. It's time we free ourselves from the lies of the enemy. It's time we look at ourselves and see a masterpiece and not a mess. It's time we see ourselves and see a warrior and not just a survivor. It's time we look at ourselves and see a great mom and not a failure. It's time we stop arguing with God and believe that The God of the Universe, The One who created us and the One who died for us knows what He's talking about. Babes We're the real deal and We are His.

Todd white once said "This world is about value. It's about worth and for 30 years heaven went bankrupt to get us back. How dare we say that we're not worth it?" 

So beautiful mamas, How dare we? How dare we say we're not called for this? How dare we say we're not worth it? How dare we say we're not good enough? When our Father sent His Son and let Heaven go bankrupt for 30 years to bring us home. Now that is the ultimate adoption if you ask me.

There is so much power in our words. There is so much power in our argument. Today Sisters I want you to really think about what are we signing our names and identities to? Our Father's truth or the enemies lies?

From the heart xoxo Heather.
