Who Are You? :)

Hey everyone! (:

I am assuming most of you reading this know me, but do you know the real me? Whether you do or you don't, I am going to tell you a little bit about myself.

I was fortunate enough to be born into a family where going to church was and is a weekly occurance. I have been going to church since I was born. It is something that is extremely important to me, and without church, I am not sure who I would be. However, who I am now is not who I've always been.

Pretty much since the day I started talking, I have been an extreme worry wart. It really is pretty stupid actually. But my worries were not normal. When I reached the age of eight, my worries went from getting my Kindergarten assignments done to, my mom is one minute late to pick me up... OH NO! i bet she had a car wreck. If you're reading this you're probably thinking I am exaggerating... I'm not. lol thats how terrible I was.

This same year, I remember taking a bubble bath ( HAHA yeah I used to love those too!). Once again I got worried about something stupid and unrealistic. I don't even remember what it was. It was probably what if this bath tub drain sucks me up and I die kinda thing. ANYWAY! lol I called for my mom and she came running. And I asked that million dollar question. "Mom, what would happen to me if I died right here, right now?" Mom looked at me and sighed. "Taylre, you are not going to die. Stop worrying."
Of course those of you who know me KNOW I am not one that takes that as an answer (LOL). So I looked at her and said, "Mom, really. I need to know."
She told me to get out, dry off, and come talk to her and my dad. I got out and did what she said.


As I ran into the living room and hopped on my dad's lap, my mother clued him in to what was going on. My dad looked at me in surprise and said, "Taylre, what do you feel?"
I said, "Daddy, I feel scared."
Dad looked at me and smiled as he replied, "Honey, don't be scared. I mean't what do you feel, deep down, in your heart. Do you feel like God is tugging at your heart?"

I was extremely puzzled. I had no idea why my Creater would be so called "tugging" at my heart. I looked my dad straight in the eyes and said, "I don't know. I just want this feeling of fear to go away and never come back. I don't like it."
Dad looked in my eight year old eyes and said, "I can't help you."
I felt so abandon and almost started to cry when I looked back and said, " Why? Why can't you help me? Your my dad, thats what you're here for!"
My dad said, "I am here to lead you to the one that can help you. I can't help you, but God can. If you are ready to begin a relationship with Him, we can pray together. Would you like that?"
I nodded. My father and I sat there together on our knees in the living room of our home and prayed a prayer I will never forget.

Since that night, I have never been the same. Yeah I worry, we all do. But I know I have no reason to worry, because my Lord and Savior is there for me... no matter what. He loves me, and He loves you too! (:

As you read this, you found a little bit of who I am... reflect... who are you? (:


Thanks!
God Bless! (:

Taylre!
