This is your Life

"This is your life, are you who you want to be?" the words of a popular Christian song haunt me tonight.  I can't get them out of my head.  So how would I answer my own question?  I am becoming who I want to be.  I am becoming who God wants me to be, more importantly.  

God is making me into a better woman and into a better mom.  I am no longer who I used to be.  I'm radically different.  Even my 7 year old thinks so!  And she likes the change.  That ruled.  It's not about being good for good's sake.  It's not about living a moral life, living by a code of ethics that sets one apart from the world.  It's about giving up.  Giving your control over to God.  Asking God to make you into who He wants you to be.  Being willing.  6 months later and I'm still willing.  God, make me into the woman you want.  Make me more like you.  Help others to see You when they interact with me, when they see the way I live, the way I work and the way I love my friends and family.

I'm willing.  Are you?
