The props of our lives

I appreciated this article this week from Wendy Alsup on the props in our lives, which goes along nicely with today's post on the EQUIP book club, based on the story of Ruth. Here's a snippet (and some of the props she has mentioned are husband, children, money, land, status):

My question is what is your prop? And if you have props, do you see past them to find your identity in Christ Himself? Or do your props seem so vital to your identity that you can't imagine life without them?

If you don't have the normal props, how do you view yourself? Do you feel lost, in a holding pattern, waiting on God to give your life something in which to find your identity?
