Yesterday, I spent an hour of my labor day in quality time with the latest People Style Watch magazine. I gave my mom a subscription to this magazine for her birthday so she could be up on the latest trends for her jewelry making business. As I thumbed through the pages, I saw what all the hottest celebrities were wearing (I'm embarrassed to say, I'm so out of the loop I didn't know who have of these celebrities were!). The latest trends for Fall, and how to accessorize them took another section of the magazine. Basically, like all good women's magazines, I was told what to wear, and how to look in order to be 'in' like the famous people are.
It made me ponder the question - Who defines me? Do I allow myself to be defined by trends, friends, family, societal values and standards - or do I find my self understanding in my relationship with God?
Today I ask you to ask yourself the same question - Who defines you? Who or what structures your self understanding? I pray that we would all allow our all knowing, and all loving God to be our source of strength, and definition!
