Who Am I?

I am a princess. A princess who is about to embark on a journey to see a man who tells me He is my very best friend. This man through conversations I have had with Him tells me, He is the Lover of my soul… The Bright and Morning Star, The Lily of the Valley… Such wonderful names that I can hardly contain my excitement in meeting Him.

He tells me the journey is an exciting one, yet dangerous at times… that along the way I will meet many friends who will assist me on this journey to meet Him… These friends will each have something very important to teach me about myself and give me a tool that is necessary for my journey. He tells me I will also encounter those that will try to add things to my journey that are not meant for me to carry… Heavy items that will slow down my progress to the Palace… These things are very sneaky and many times are disguised so cleverly that a person does not realize they are joining you for the journey.

Along this journey, there will be many conversations I’m sure between my friend and I. He will have to be the One who guides me thru the trails of valleys and mountain tops. He tells me one simple phrase that I am to say to myself anytime of the day when I start to doubt my journey…  That phrase is “Don’t be Afraid” Such a simple little sentence but yet so very hard to do isn’t it? To not be afraid when you have no idea what lies ahead, to not be afraid when you have no idea what you are going to do or how something will turn out… This phrase will be our glue that holds us together as we travel along our trail.

I asked my friend, “What do I need to bring with me? “ “Nothing is needed” replied my friend… “I will supply all of your needs and you will want for nothing!” Now I was really curious and excited at the same time, never have I heard of such a journey where you bring nothing with you except yourself… Suddenly, I got very sad.. My friend spoke up and said,”Why so downcast?” I explained to my friend that I did not think my “self” was very capable of such a grand journey and that maybe someone else should be chosen.. I was told that we ALL are hand picked and chosen for this journey and that our selves are just perfect because they were created in God’s image.

I took that answer and laid down for a rest.. Tomorrow we begin our trip!
