Who Am I?

"Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth

Would care to know my name,

Would care to feel my hurt?"

- Casting Crowns

   Who am I? This is a question that seems to haunt me some days. Like so many other things in life, it seems so simple on the surface. I am Anna Katherine Browning -- a 5'3 brunette with a bubbly personality, great friends, and an amazing family.
   Who am I? This is a question that seems to haunt me some days. Like so many other things in life, it is not so simple beneath the surface. I am......?
   Who am I? For as long as I can remember I have been told that God knows me by name. He "created my innermost being." He "knit me together in my mothers womb." He "fearfully and wonderfully made me." I know these are words of comfort but i cant help but worry. God made me and he knows who I am inside and out, the good and the bad. He has so many plans for me and my life. The only thing standing between me and these plans is.....myself.
   Who am I? Am I being the woman God wants me to be? Am I following the path that He has set out for my life? Am I making him proud?
   Who am I? These are all questions that I can not exactly answer right now. I know that I have a fire for the Lord inside me that I want to shine bright for the world to see. I also know that some days my not so wholesome mouth, my longing to be accepted, and my tendencies to give into temptation seem to put that fire out.
   I do not know who I am all the time now, but I do know the woman I am going to try my very best to be. I know that I am not perfect and that I never will be. I know that I will continue to let not only myself down but others down as well. Most importantly though, I know that because of God's love none of these imperfections matter.
   So now when this "who am I" question haunts me I can proudly say that

I am a flower quickly fading,

Here today and gone tomorrow.

A wave tossed in the ocean.

A vapor in the wind.

Still GOD hears me when I'm calling.

GOD catches me when I'm falling.

And GOD tells me who I am.

I am his.

XOXO,
Katie
