I AM ME

i realized something tonight: i try to hide behind someone else so much until i don't know who i am without them. if i am not with certain people, i wonder what i am even like sometimes.

i am lauren adams, the servant of the Most High God and that won't change no matter who i'm with. i'm scared of letting others see the real me, because i'm scared they won't like it. but that shouldn't even matter, because i am not on this earth to please others. i am on a mission, a mission more powerful than i can even grasp right now so i have to take it one day at a time. one step at a time. one single moment at a time.

i am starting to realize something else: i cannot see who i really am when i don't see who i am in God. He is who i am. He is the all-time best part of my life and when i try to see who i am apart from Him, i'm not seeing the real me.

so this is me:
my name is lauren adams.
i may not be what i seem on the outside all the time.
i laugh when i'd rather be crying.
i'm crazy and energetic, but i easily shy away.
most importantly, i am the daughter of the King.
my Best Friend is My Savior.
i am a treasure in God's eyes.
i am loved beyond compare by my Father.
i am a beloved bride to my Bridegroom.
i am a redeemed daughter.
I AM GOD'S CHILD/FRIEND/LOVER/TREASURE. 
THIS IS ME.
