Terrible Twos

I know that the mothers out there understand this far more than I do, but I now have a deeper understanding of why two year olds (and toddlers) have tantrums. When you know what it is what you want/need but you don't have the ability to communicate, you get frustrated and fight and basically act like you are two years old all over again. That is what I have been struggling with lately, not being able to communicate and seeing those around me be able to just talk with each other like nothing else. But I have to remember to keep my identity found IN HIM.
When I don't keep my identity with HIM, and read what it is that He has given us, then i loose everything. I loose the reason for being here, I loose the reason for choosing the life I have chosen, I loose the reason to live and to die. I become a person who is just existing for no purpose and am to be thrown out a trampled on under foot. But that is not why I am here, I am here to be a light that shines through the darkness even though it does not yet understand it. I am here to prepare the way, to call people to repentance and show them to the savior.
All this to say that I thank you for thinking of me recently as I have struggled both with finding time to read the word and have struggled with the language. Both of which I can find my identity in but it is the first one in which I need to be founded in and the second is secondary (or lastly).
