Mommy Identities

**Before you begin reading, sit down, breathe normally and be quiet for 1 minute.**

Many have us have worked so hard forming our identities. Career identities, marital identities, individual identities. Our identities are constantly forming. Many times our identities form most solidly when we feel like we're in a pressure cooker. These are the times when God is forging who we are. These times of forging are painful, frustrating and sometimes not all that pretty. Transitioning from being a full time working mom to being a full time stay at home mom has been a bit rocky. This transition has been my pressure cooker of identity formation. God uses various times to form us not just in our identities as Moms but as His daughters. He ultimately is forming our identities to become more like Christ's. May God grant you peace, patience and trust during these trying yet crucial times of identity formation.

**Sit quietly again for as much time as is available to you.**
