I think a lot of Christian women struggle with what the meaning of self identity means. It’s kind of a modern term. And if there are other Christians out there, like me, I tend to shy away from modern thinking…terms. For myself, I am just starting to learn what that means in a Christian sense. And it is far from what the world sees it as. A better term would be CHRIST identity. We are in, of and made by CHRIST. Can you all pray for my strength to learn this? I am 58, so it’s not so easy anymore. Let me know what I can pray for for you. Talking to God is my favorite thing to do. God Bless!

Yesterday our sermon was on the woman that asked Jesus for her daughter be free from a demon spirit. (Ugh, I can’t imagine a demon possessed child!) Anyway, at first Jesus IGNORED her! JESUS! Then he rebuked her! Ugh! I would have run away crying! But she kept on! She kept pestering him and said “but even a dog eats the crumbs from his master’s table.” Made me think….keep praying! Keep pestering God! I guess……… I may be like that woman….because NOTHING will stop me from praying to HIM!

@Cyndi Rutherford I was voted “most gullible” in highschool. So I know what you mean. I grew up using the term, “say honest.” Me and my 7 siblings still use that term to this day, I’m 58. Now my children and most of my nieces and nephews use that say term. (Funny thing, my parents didn’t practice what they preached.)

Speaking of parents Dr Dave, maybe you can talk about the correlation between how we look at the world when we have had so the er controlling parents, absent parents, abusive parents. How that is reflected in our adulthood and how it STILL affects us, how to identify those characteristics in ourselves.
