“Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king. Remember… ” – The Lion King<\/p>\n

Each week, I get kids up for school, drive them to school, go to work, put in 8 1\/2 hours, pick kids up, make supper, workout on my treadmill.<\/p>\n
Amid the hustle and bustle I so often forget who I am, what ultimately defines me. I am a daughter of the one true King. Why should I fear? Why should I worry? Why do I strive?<\/p>\n

Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God<\/em>; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9-10<\/p>\n Sometimes I think I forget so much… and remember so little.<\/p>\n (Disclaimer: although I do the things I mentioned at the top concerning my kids & home each week, I don’t do them every day; my husband & I share the responsibilities – he’s awesome!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
