It can be so easy to lose yourself. You and I can forget who we are because you don’t have something we want yet. I remember today not feeling like myself and asking myself why I was doing what I was doing. I didn’t understand my motives but wanted to. I imagined myself having something that didn’t belong to me yet. I pictured myself with it as if it was already mine. I planned out my own timing for my life and when it didn’t happen today like I planned, I got disappointed. I got lost in a world that I made up in my own mind. I forgot who I was.

When we get wrapped up in a false reality we can easily forget our calling, desires, and passions- the things that drives us and make us who we really are. Just because you don’t have a boyfriend or husband giving you attention or the career you’d like or even the kids you want to have one day doesn’t mean that you are worthless and have no meaning. Those things are great to have but your true identity and purpose comes from God. Just because I don’t have certain things doesn’t mean I don’t have anything. It shouldn’t stop me from enjoying my life and living everyday as if I’m loved by my Father in heaven who I get to spend eternity with.

Always fight to remember who you are. You don’t want to go down the road of forgetting about yourself because that road tends to have discouragement, loneliness, and  cloudiness.
