I have a friend who has a unusual habit of giving her friends presents on her birthday. It is usually something significant, something she has thought about a lot. One year it was an animal print coffee mug to remind her friends we serve a wild God. One year it was thongs and I'm not sure what that was about. This year it was something she wrote about each one and framed. I have had mine for a month now and haven't hung it. It feels too big, too much. Here is mine.
The Katy that I see is
Knowledgeable of who she is in Christ. She walks a life of freedom in Christ and helps others to do the same.
Anointed - Like Jesus, she makes it her goal to heal those with broken hearts. Her heart aches for those who have been abused and wounded in life and she does all she can to help them heal and be whole.
Tenacious - She has a resolute and confident faith in God who always causes her to triumph in life. Knowing she is empowered by God, she never gives up. Instead she presses forward putting her hope in God alone.
A River, not a swamp - God has blessed her with the gift of bringing life, refreshment and healing to women whose lives seem dry and hopeless. Like a river, she helps restore that which was thought to be dead, back to life so it can bear fruit for the kingdom.
Influential - Her desire is to make a difference, so she does not hold back but does whatever it takes to help people see their value in the kingdom. All those who come in contact with her are blessed.
Nurturer - She has a heart of compassion that is touched by the hurt and pain of others. Her primary concern is for her family and she finds great joy in caring for and encouraging the growth and success of each member.
Above and Not Beneath - She knows the rightful place of authority; that she is the head and not the tail so she does not make her back like the ground, but rises up to the glory of God.
I wish these words were completely true but it is a journey I am on.
