"i wanna get lost; i wanna get lost in Your arms. i wanna get lost and lose my way into Your heart. 'cause there's so many voices telling me how to get lost in this life, but right now, i wanna get lost before i lose myself." ~Sanctus Real "i want to get lost"
there are so many distractions in this life. they aren't even all bad things. for me, i've recently been wondering if i'd be willing to give up exercise for Christ. i don't think He is calling me to, but He has been challenging me... would i really give up ANYTHING for Him? i want so badly to feel good about myself, but what if i don't have time for exercise AND my devotion one day. which one will i pick?
Life definitely has it’s way of sneaking up on me. One day, i think it’s all good…the next, I’m questioning my loyalty to my Savior. why does this have to happen? why can't i just stay crazy in love with Him 24/7 and not even have to ask myself these questions?
i just wanna get completely lost in Him and not have to see anything else because i'm so lost.

one thing i love about God is that He makes us get out of our comfort zones. He knows what will grow us much better than we do. Even though it hurts and is confusing sometimes and we don't necessarily enjoy it, it's what's best.
have you ever imagined life without trials? honestly, i don't think i would like it. i have learned most of the things i've learned in life because of trials i have been through. yes, they are hard, but they make me into the girl God wants me to be...and i want to be that girl.
so...
1) embrace trials.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4
2) strive to be who GOD wants you to be...not who OTHERS want you to be. that's not satisfying.
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7
*so to strive to be who God wants us to be, we have to also look at our hearts.*
