In life we claim that the world puts too many labels on us as women and to a point that is true but we never look at the labels we put on ourselves.
As a woman, wife, daughter,sister,friend, employee and believer it can be easy to become what ever hat you have on in any given moment. We become what ever label that moment calls for. I have done this too many times to count and it has made me more consumed by the label than who iam as a person and what makes me.. me! Because in being consumed by whatever label I have on the hat I'm wearing I have begun to put out all kinds of labels. And I let those labels define my day mood and life. Which held me back in life in so many ways. I became more focused on keeping my labels and finding new ones to cover up the hurt of not having certain labels. That I lost myself and couldn't see all the things that make me up and make me happy. I wanted to be perfect but wearing all those labels made me tired and stressed out. But not too long ago I confronted myself and had a long inner battle over many things and at the end of this inner battle was God. Sitting and waiting for his daughter to figure it out. So quite living and calm. As he is always is with me. When I realized my battle lead to another level of victory over strong holds and walls keeping me from my call I was thankful for the battle. Because now I know him and myself better and my life is no longer about the labels but it's about, loving my God,loving my husband and living each day to its best version. Ripping off labels we or others put on us will set us free to be the daughter God knows us to be.
