Who We Are....

Hey.  It's Cat.  This is just a collection of thoughts that's been hanging heavy on my heart the past couple weeks.  

Who are we??

According to us??

If someone were to ask me, right now, who i am, I'd jus be like, "Well, I'm Cat."

"But who are you Cat??"


Now how do we answer that??


A writer?

A musician? 

A mathlete?


An athlete?


A artist?


A friend? 


A daughter?

A son?

A parent?


While we could all find things we identify with, is it really that great that we see ourselves as this one thing?


How many of you would've answered "A Christian," "A Jesus Freak," "A fisher of men," or a "A Believer."?


I wouldn't've.  Give me a split second to think, and i would answer, "I'm a writer, a poet, a bass player, a blogger, an artist."


Sure if we have time we can all have our Sunday School answers.  


But what about when we don't have time to think?


Now, I'm not saying that you should go up to everyone you meet and be all like, "Hi, I'm Cat, and I'm a Christian.  I was saved when i was eight years old.  My favorite verse is Judges 6...."


No. Don't do that.  


I just want to ask, "Are we putting our identity in who we think we are or who God knows we are?"


I was putting all of who i am in my opinion. Until i went to a Student Life camp this summer.  I realized that, in my mind's eye, i'm not always Cat the Believer.  Sometimes, I'm Cat Whoever I Wanna Be.  


I wanna be Cat, God's Daughter, by the message that i live out.  I can be Cat the Writer, Cat the Bass Player, Cat the Poet, and all the things i am along with that.  

I just wanna be sure i'm Cat, Saved in Christ, first and foremost.  

This is just therapy....CatCooper<3
