Own Your Crown

I was a girl whose parents married and divorced each other twice. Yes, I said TWICE. My mom moved out the second time, and I ended up with a stepmother who had mental health problems. She would be so sweet one minute, then verbally abusing and calling me horrible names in the next sentence. Then in my twenties, my Dad died. This rocked my world, because I was a big daddy's girl. 

Thankfully I was rooted in the Word, which helped me stay "strong" through all of this. I knew I had a Heavenly Father who would not leave me, die, or be mean to me. I am His daughter, and I am a princess. Why, a princess? My Father is a King. (Revelation 19:16) 

I want to be that princess that serves her people. I want to use the gifts that my Father has given me to help others. Jesus himself came to serve, and then He gave His life for us. My identity isn't in what happened with my parents, but in Christ. I have my crown on and I am owning it!
