Remind me.

I am one of those people who had never had any huge life plans.  I have always felt inferior to my friends who have their lives planned out.  I want so desperately to know what my life will hold.  I know that God has a plan, I just wish His path was a little more clear.  I don't want to make my own plans for fear of messing with God's. 

Have you ever heard a song and you just sat there thinking, "wow, this person can read my mind!"  Well today I was sitting eating my lunch listening to the Christian Contemporary channel on Pandora and Remind me who I am to You by Jason Gray came on.  I kind of tuned it out because I was on facebook, but at a closer listen, it explains my life!  Just read & let the words soak in..

When I lose my way,
And I forget my name,
Remind me who I am.
In the mirror all I see,
Is who I don't wanna be,
Remind me who I am.
In the loneliest places,
When I can't remember what grace is.

Tell me once again who I am to You,
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You.
To You.

When my heart is like a stone,
And I'm running far from home,
Remind me who I am.
When I can't receive Your love,
Afraid I'll never be enough,
Remind me who I am.
If I'm Your beloved,
Can You help me believe it.

Tell me once again who I am to You,
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You.
That I belong to You.

I'm the one you love,
I'm the one you love,
That will be enough,
I'm the one you love.

Tell me once again who I am to You.
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You.

Tell me once again who I am to You.
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You.

When you forget who you are and what your purpose on earth is, ask God to remind you why you are here.  He will blow you away.  You are not here to drool over One Direction, repin cute clothes, and have fun with your friends. As fun {and harmless.} as this stuff is, don't let it get in the wayof your calling on the earth.  Love the least, encourage people, serve.  No one on this earth is here on accident, even the meanest person.  You are placed in your home, your classes, your friend groups, your church, for a certain purpose.  Never lose sight of the things that actually matter.  You can bring friends & family to heaven with you, but clothes, computer, phones, and other material items don't.  Prioritize!  If you open your heart to Gods plan and what he wants to do in your life I can guarantee you won't regret it.  It won't be east but trust me, it is so worth it!
