I just read today's devotional in the Upper Room and it really hit something deep inside of me.
When I was growing up, I was always Donald's daughter, Patti's daughter, E.B.'s granddaughter, Joe's granddaughter, Eddie's niece, D.'s sister and countless more that I can't even begin to list.
I always thought that was a burden to me. Always being connected to someone else and their character and their achievements. What expectations!
But now that I'm older, I realize that the only expectations I have to live up to are those that God has of me. No one else matters. My name, my character and my life is between me and Him. And that gives me great comfort and peace.
