This is Real This is me

This is real,
This me,
I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be,
Gonna let the light shine on me,
Now I found who I am,
Theres no way to hold it in,
No more hiding who I wanna be!
This is me! -Camp Rock

I have a friend who is searching hard to find herslef. She feels lost, like she can't find who she is anymore and she feels as though she doesn't know where to go. I was thinking and praying about her and I just started thinking. It would suck to not know who you are. To go to college to "find yourself" instead of going to become more of you. I believe you do find a part of you in college because you are on your own and have to find that peice that can live alone but I am sadened by her lostness. I want to help her find herself....and then I started thinking...do I know myself.

And that conclusion was simple. YES! I am not like her, I know who I am. I may not know where the Lord is taking me, but I do know who I am. I am Ayla Lisza Jane Besinger! The crazy, goofy, drops everything, forgets things, says the wrong things, loves to make you smile, girl that most people get the chance to know. I have faith in the person God made me and I am not questioning the gifts he gave me, I am just using them to better what I can. He gave me who I am and I know who I am because of him. I know my strengths and weaknesses and I am fully aware of how to handle my weaknesses so that they are not in my way. I only wish she could see the person I see in front of me. She is a beautiful girl with so much passion and kindness, but she doesn't trust fully in herself. And I fear she may not trust God as well! One day God will show her, her beauty and she will finally see the person I have seen all these years.
