This Is Who I Am


Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?

I am a completely unique individual
I was created in the name of God
I am a woman descended from Eve
Who was created from Adam's rib
By the hand of God
And therefore doubly refined at creation
I am a sinner who fell short of God's expectations
God literally knit and wove me together
In my mother's womb
Whether or not I like my personal appearance
The fact is God put me together
And he has a purpose for me
Just as the person that I am
No one in this world is like me
I am
Because God wanted someone here just like me
When life is over and I have a personal relationship
With Jesus I am going to be with God in the end.

That is who I am
This is where I came from
This is why I am here
And that is where I am going.
