Looking for the Real Me
Wanted:
The young girl that used to believe in miracles and wonders.
The one that thought she could take on the world and never fail.
The girl who believed in herself and knew she was special.
The girl who wouldn’t let those mean words get through to her heart.
Wanted – the innocence again of childhood.
See, I have looked to many things to ‘find myself’. Maybe you have too. I looked to the world, I have looked to relationships, I have looked to money and jobs, I have looked to things like alcohol and drugs, I have looked to psychology and 12 step groups. I have even looked to church. But like Joseph and Mary long ago, I lost Jesus at the church. I worshipped the religion, but not the man – Christ Jesus. That was another 10 year adventure right there. But I never found her – that little girl lost, until I looked to Jesus. When I looked to HIM, I found ME!
This post reminds me of who God says I am…
Who I am in Christ – encouragement for the weary soul.
And a big thank you to iChristian and Steve Rebus for turning me on to this series – real people, real stories, and hope.

Thank you Brenda for the re-blog. Blessings and peace to you! Diana
I also placed itt on my website Diana….bbelliott.vpweb.com
Brenda,
I tried that site and it just brings up Vistaprint. ;(
Vistaprint is the host of the website. Did it give you an option to go to website? On the left side of the website monitor? I am going to check it out from outside of my membership page….
ctt.vpweb.com is the correct website name Diana. I completely forgot that I changed it shortly before closing it down a couple of weeks ago. Do you mind trying it again with the right address? Thanks bunches for notifying me of it. Saving grace.
Just double click on the first site on the search engine and go to BB’s Blog. That is where I posted your article Diana….Thanks again. I still have a few quirks to work through on there. BBE
ok Diana….I just posted the direct link on wordpress
