idenity crisis

I was thinking the other day, "Who even reads my blog anymore?" "What am I supposed to do in my life?" For me, it's really hard for me to be proud of myself and know my talents. I compare myself to other singers and hold on to the mean things people say. I don't know what I'll do after high school or what college I'll go to. It's gotten so bad that there are times in my life where I cannot sleep because of the anxiety in my heart, the unmet need of feeling proud and happy with myself.

Until I read this verse.

"Love and faithfulness meet otgether, righteousness and peace kiss each other." Psalm 85:10

It's beautiful to think about the world's most universal needs are mentioned in this verse, and they are all found in the loving hands of God. Other religions try to forge it, but only a personal relationship with Christ fulfills it. It is in God that we realize our purpose, meaning, significance, and future with Him.

I may not know what I am good enough yet, but I know who I am. My name is Julia Lynne Schemmer. There are things that I just have to accept about myself, like the fact that I'm not perfect or that life can be hard. I know that God has never failed me, and if He could lead the Israelites out of the desert, I'm positive that He can show me the pathway to my life. I know that moments like this will strengthen me and make me into the woman of God that God has in store for me. Even though I am broken into pieces, I refuse to stop trusting in the beautiful name of Jesus Christ.

 

"In all ways submit to Him, and He will make your path straight." Proverbs 3:6

It's going to be the hardest, narrowest road that I've ever taken in my life. There is going to be days where I will feel like giving up, but I refuse. People will rise against me and my troubles will be many....but it will be the best decision I ever made: to live wholeheartedly for Christ.
