Who Am I?

Who Am I?

Pull off your labels and become the woman God designed you to be.

Overview

Women today have more choices than ever before, but this doesn't necessarily mean that women are more fulfilled. The greater freedom comes with added pressures and stress, even confusion. Many of us still struggle with the way we see ourselves, often second-guessing our decision to pursue a career or to dedicate ourselves solely to caring for home and family.

Author Caryn Rivadeneira struggles to pinpoint the source of her identity crisis and to understand why, even though she loves being a stay-at-home mom, she hates "being identified as one." She notes that within the church, such transparency is often countered with the admonition to find your identity as a child of God. So why doesn't every woman find that answer satisfying?
