"Everything"

As I have already written in a previous blog, I have been trouble figuring out my identity throughout this academic school year. I have been faced with more changes and more choices than I knew what to do with and it became overwhelming. Going through all of these changes, I have felt the distance between me and God grow increasingly larger. I didn't realize how much I had been putting before my relationship with Him until this past week when I went to West Virginia with Eastern University's Habitat for Humanity group. Here is where I realized just how much I had forgotten who I was. On my trip, I had rediscovered who I am. It's a process that will take time, but I have come back to the realization that I am a daughter of my Lord Jesus Christ. That is the best start I could think of to getting back to the real me.

When I was in high school, I had taken part in my school's theater arts group. As one of our skits, and because I went to a Christian school, we performed the "Everything Skit" by Lifehouse. In it I portrayed the girl who had been walking with Christ for a time and then many things of this world came between the girl and Christ. The skit shows how Christ fights to win us back into His loving arms. In my battle of figuring out who I am, I have thought a lot about this skit, and although I do not have a recording of my school's performance of the skit, I have found this one on YouTube.

This skit is one of the most powerful skits I have every seen or been a part of. When I watch this video I get the chills and I usually even tear up. Now that I have had this struggle with my identity, I can relate to this video even more than before. I hope everyone who watches this is able to feel the powerfulness of it.
