Who Am I

 I have been studying the book of Ephesians, "The Armor of God" by Priscilla Shirer, and "Victory in Spiritual Warfare" by Tony Evans. I have become more aware that many days I lose sight of who I am in Christ.  And on those days, I am struggling and caving into my strongholds and sin patterns.  As I read, read again, and read yet again the book of Ephesians I noticed that Satan uses my focus on self to distract me to not focus on God and all that He has done for me.  I have watched and rewatched War Room and Overcomer as they have helped me see the application in practice. 

As I continue to learn and grow I want to share Who I am in Christ as found in Ephesians 1 and 2.
