Remind me who I am.

I like to drive when I have a lot on my mind. I have't done it in a while because my bank account does not like me to use gas for no reason. But the other day, it was necessary. I had the windows down, music up, and sun on my face. Perfect! So I was driving along, just clearing my head when this song came on. I twas "Remind me who I am" by Jason Gray. I've heard the song before, but I never really paid much attention. Here. Listen to it.

I guess I need to give you a little background info before I tell you why I like this song so much. My FAVORITE way to describe God is Creator. It blows my mind and makes me smile every time I say it. Creator. If you are like me, and have grown up in church, you can pretty much recite Gen. 1 from memory. "God created the heavens and the earth, sky, sun, moon, land, seas, planets, animals, and finally humans." (obliviously that is a condensed version.) God created EVERYTHING that ever was, is or will be. Things as big as the Solar system, or as small the stupid fly buzzing around my room. Think of how much creativity, power, and just straight up awesomeness that took!

It took me a long time to understand that the Creator of all things also created me. I'm not something that happened by accident  God didn't just create the human race as a whole but left the details up to chance. God created each and ever person. He spent time on every single person. That is pretty much the coolest thing ever to me.

Okay, so back to this song. The whole thing is about needing to reminded we are HIS. Right now I'm questioning my calling, my abilities, my future, everything. And when I start to question all that, I start to question who I am. And I don't just mean trying to figure things out. No. This is some SERIOUS self doubt. As I was driving to clear my head, I asked God "what do you want me to do? What do you want me to be?" And this song came on.

My call, my future, my passions, all that can change. The thing that will forever be the same is I am HIS! I am created by God. So its okay that everything is a big question mark right now. I don't like that it is a big question mark, but its okay. God is reminding me daily that I belong to Him. That is who I am and who I need to be.
