This is who I am.

Remember all those millions of times when you were a kid and someone asked you, "What will you be when you grow up?" I'm pretty sure my response was never the same, It went from, being a dancer, to a singer, to a mom, to a nurse, to probably hundreds of other things.

I laugh now at myself, at what a crazy child I must have been, not having a clue about who I was, or what God would be doing in my life years from then.

And so I was reading in Acts this morning about Stephen and I was thinking how crazy it was that God created Stephen to die the way he did. Gosh Stephen what would you like to be when you grow up? And His response would be...I want to get stoned to death for Jesus! I highly doubt that! Yet I don't think Stephen even at the time he was being stoned, knew the impact he was having on the world at that time, that he would inspire and start a fire in the hearts of millions of people. And here I am Rebekah Anne Reese over 2,000 years later, being inspired. God knew that this story would one day stir up a passion inside me, to share Christ's love with others. This utterly astonishes me.

I am Rebekah Reese, I am a filthy dirty horrible rotten sinner, but I love and believe in a savior who has saved me from my own selfish and horribly evil ways to bring me into new life with him. I am not perfect, even though at times i think i come pretty close, even so in those moments I am the farthest thing from perfect! I am not trying to be the next Jeanne Mayo, Beth Moore, or Joyce Meyer. I'm just a young woman trying to be apart of body of believers who are daily laying down their lives, their own selfish motives and desires to bring glory to God, to enjoy him forever and to share that with everyone we come into contact with. Even if trials, tribulation and even death may come I will still praise Him, for He is worthy. This is who I am. ...Who are you?
