Who You Are
Everyone has a story about who they are, usually written by other people. Parents, exes, the group chat, whoever got there first. This plan reads the older story, the one the Bible tells about you before any of them had a say.
It goes in an order. Day one is being made and being known. Days two and three are what happened when God decided to adopt people, in Paul's words, which are dense but worth slowing down for. Day four is who you're becoming, and day five is the surprise: God picks differently from how we pick.
You don't have to believe all of it to read it. Just notice, each day, which sentence you'd struggle to say about yourself out loud.

| 3 | Three writers, one word: children. Notice how each one gets there, and that the Spirit's cry in Romans and Galatians is the same word, 'Abba'. | Three writers, one word: children. Notice how each one gets there, and that the Spirit's cry in Romans and Galatians is the same word, 'Abba'. |
