Bible Verses: End of Series (Identity Crisis)

Ok all I have been so bad about updating this due to several crisis situations so now I feel it is time, it is time to wrap up this series will a host of challenging quotes, verses, and scriptures. By now I hope we are all seeking to find ourselves in Christ alone. . . a journey begins anew everyday. As I eagerly await the arrival of a new life into our family, I am once again faced with the challenge of facing who I am in Christ and all I see is a broken, beautiful, mess. . .  Welcome Home to a place where there is no condemnation, where everyone is broken too, where open arms find you, friends welcome you, where healing begins, where restoration occurs, where change knocks at the door, where your feet hit the floor, where true freedom resides. . . welcome to the you that God has in store. I hope you will embrace the beautiful mess and in doing so be free.
