What does it mean to "lose your self"? Something in me is telling me to "lose my self" and I am not really sure what it means. Self giving? Sacrifice? I feel as if I were caught by a bit of spiderweb, its just enough to feel, to know its there, but I can't quite shake it off. I need to figure this out. But, for now this need is not a weight, but a sense of being drawn along...hmmm, its becoming hard to explain. I think I will return to my books. It's so nice to be able to read what one wants for a day.

One of my daughters had a pretty bad car accident 2 years ago when she was 16. Her car rolled twice thru 2 lanes on the interstate and landed upright in the median. She came out with only minor injuries but emotionally she was a wreck. Then not too long after that, she almost had a head on collision with a driver going the wrong way. I found something she wrote and thought I would share it with you. It was a paper she wrote for class so I don't think she'll mind.
After thanking God for once again saving her life, she wrote the following. "My God, surely you have something planned for me and even though your will is not clear to me yet, I will still follow you with all my heart. Lord give me the patience I need to follow the path that you have laid down for me." She constantly reminds herself to thank God for every single breath she takes. She said "It is hard to except His will, but I know that the only way to find peace is to do just that".
I think we must surrender everything (lose yourself) to God and let Him handle what comes along. Only then can we find the peace that all of us are searching for. You are a good person and I know that God will continue to bless you, Kitty :)
