Identity,

What defines a person? Who are we and how do we know who we are? A better question is who do we want to be? I have been searching for who I am for quite some time. I recently stumbled on a book that is slowly but surely teaching me that it's not about me and who I am and who I want to be.
My life was not for me to do with want I want. It is to exalt my God and let people know who he is through me. Does that mean that I am going to shove my faith and my beliefs down your throat? Not at all. If you so chose to read my blog, or enjoy my books, or art, so be it. And if you take something away from those things that might bring some insight into your own faith, so be it.
God gave me gifts so that I might share His glory and grace to others. Am I perfect for the job he requires me to do, not hardly. But I have got to try. I have got to try to be the best example I can be, especially for my wife, and my children.
Every day my family looks at me and analyzes my every move. They may not pinpoint my faults and hold my shortcomings over my head, but I guarantee they know and will start to hesitate the more I let them down.
So, even though I fail, and fall short, more often then I would like to admit, I do know who I am and what my true purpose is on this Earth. I may take a few detours here and there, but God knows I that I will eventually make the correct turn back on to the proverbial path.
Who am I, I am an advocate. I am a book. I am a light on the darkened path. I am a voice. I am a servant. I am a man who has been called...
If you are reading this, and I hope that you are, I only have one thing to ask of you...who are you?
