Life of Significance Part 5
If asked who I am, I could say “I am Bill’s wife, Stephen’s mother, Catherine’s daughter, a sister, aunt, niece, friend, and woman.” Of course, that would describe both who I am to so many others and what I do, but the best way I could answer is to say that I am a woman who loves her God, loves her family, and loves her life. I’m not perfect, nor is my life devoid of challenges, but I can honestly sing with the Clark Sisters, “I like living this kind of life. I’m living the blessed life!”
Question: If you were asked the question, “Who are you?” what are some of the different ways you could answer and what would characterize the best answer?
Live in the overflow!

Good Afternoon, when asked that questioned I can definitely relate, I m a mother, I’m a daughter, I m an aunt, niece and a friend. One thing that I have discovered on this journey is the relationship that I have with my God helps me to identify with who I am. There are times in life when I became everything to others and lost site of who I was, therefore I wore all of those hats until it became overwhelming. Pretending isn’t easy and superwoman does not exist in my world, lolol The first part of my healing God dealt with me in the area of identity. Eye opening experience! I have access to him in every area of my life. I am created in his image as an individual in the likeness of who he is in me..knowing and being connected to who he is makes life so significant. I can truly say that I love God. Now this does not alleviate me from any adversity but he gives me a different perspective on situations and circumstances but I can walk in the reassurance with expectancy on his promises knowing who I am!!
Robin, thanks for the reminder that Superwoman does not exist in any of our worlds! Continue to take care of yourself so that you can be what God wants you to be for others!
I am Lisa Hastings, Wife, Mother, coworker, friend, and a nurse. Like you this is who I am to others, but to my self ,a woman who constantly tries to make people happy and full fill their needs first. This year and from now on, the woman I will be is one who trusts god unconditionally, loves her self and appreciates her life with every thing that comes with it.(trials and tribulations)
Awesome! I applaud you for your commitment to live your best life.
I’m a wife of a minister, a mother and step mother, I’m a grandmother, daughter and sister to others. Who I am is a woman who just turned 50 and am afraid to expand and reach for greater. I’m a woman afraid to fail and because of that I have limited myself and limited God as a matter of fact! This year I’m building my faith in God’s Word that all things are possible. Lord, I believe – help my unbelief.
Penzola, it blesses me to hear that you are on your journey to flee from the fear of failure and reach for being all that God has for you. Your best days are ahead…use them well.
I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, auntie, and friend. However, nothing brings more joy to my heart to be able to say that I am first and foremost a child God. Does that make me flawless? By no means! In fact, being a child of God reminds me that I am an imperfect human being, who’s been saved by grace through faith. I don’t deserve God’s love, yet He chooses to love me unconditionally (every single day of my life). Being a child of God reminds me that I am forgiven and there’s no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Also, I am reminded that no weapon formed against me will prosper. Therefore, I don’t have to live in fear, for I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. This eternal truth (I am a child of God) teaches me to trust God at all times, it gives me purpose, and so much more. I know this to be true because the Bible tells me so, and Lord knows that I am humbled and truly grateful. ❤️????❤️????❤️
Kayon, thank you for blessing me. Reading your post reminds me of how much I enjoyed being in small group with you. Continue to be His light. You are indeed radiant!
I am first and foremost a woman of God. Wife, mother, sister, aunt, manager, coach, mentor, and friend. These are all the titles that can be used to describe me, but I describe myself as a person with a strong personality, but a very soft and tender heart. Having a strong personality often times make people think that I am mean, and unfriendly. However, when I or others who truly know the real me, hears those things about me we all think they just don’t know me. I am the first to give, the last to take. The first to deny myself so that my family can have. I am a person of hope, a encourager, and many times a clown because I love to laugh. I am the ultimate mother bear to the child that I have birth, and the many that calls me mommy Vern, and it is those that truly know my heart that makes me so grateful .
I agree, Vern!
My name is Bevelyn. Some of the titles that I wear are Sister, Aunt, Great Aunt, Friend, Encourager, and Coworker! I would define myself, however, as a Woman of great faith, believing in the ability of my God to bring me through every trial, and every battle. I too, have a strong personality and am often misread by others. My true nature is very giving, and sensitive to hurting people. This also has its downside because some people take that for weakness. So I often find myself sterning up to keep those types of people Far Away from me! Lol I love to laugh, and always keep the people at my job laughing! That’s who I am.
I’m late to this party, but I wanted to contribute to this conversation. I’m a daughter, sister, aunt, friend, niece, manager, co-worker, mentor, coach and a lot of others that I can’t even remember. But so much more than any of them, I’m God’s daughter and I love Him more than anything. That being said, because I love Him, I love people and nothing gives me more pleasure than to know that people can see Him through my life. Do I make mistakes, absolutely….so many I can’t count, but it always comes back to repenting and being forgiven. I’m so grateful that he has given me the freedom to admit my shortcomings and being okay with being me. I’m always striving to be more like him, but accepting that I’m not him. This is a journey that has so many wonderful moments and even those that aren’t great teach so many powerful lessons. As we journey through this life together, I’ll strive to be even more comfortable being wholly me…His intentional creation.
I am Scott’s wife. A sister, a daughter, a friend, and a cousin. For the past 3 months I have been getting to know ME. The real ME. What I like. What I don’t like. What I will and will not accept. Learning how to say…..No. Because it is a complete sentence. 🙂 I adopted that from the Women of Significance Retreat last September. I am a woman of God that loves everyone however that doesn’t mean that I’m gullible. I will go out of my way for anyone. That’s just who I am. I use to allow people to run over me and say whatever they wanted to say because I hate confrontations. But not anymore. Who am I….I’m growing into that God fearing woman that God created me to be. And I’m grateful that it’s not too late to get to know her. She’s pretty cool. 🙂
