Finding the Parts I Lost

So since I have been home, I've been feeling like I've lost parts of myself. I'm usually a really confident person and in the past month I've fought more insecurity than I ever have in my entire life. I just haven't felt like me as I know me.

So tonight in worship I was talking to God and I realized why I don't feel like me. I don't feel like me because I've been neglecting the thing that makes me me, and that's Jesus. I haven't really been spending time with God and letting Jesus be in my life. I realized that in God is where I find who I am and everything that makes me me. If I don't let God in, then I'm in essence neglecting part of who I am. I can't find myself if I'm not finding the One who made me and constantly shapes my life.

So how do I find the parts of myself that I lost? I find God! He has all the missing parts. In fact He has all the parts in general. Makes me happy to know I haven't gone crazy, but have in fact just been neglecting God. Makes my heart hurt to admit that I'm neglecting God, but awesome to realize just how much I need Him!!

Until then ......
