Lost and Found.

Isn't being lost one of the WORST feelings ever? Sure, there are others, but being lost can be a very hair raising experience. We've all probably experienced some sort of negative feeling associated with being lost.

Unfortunately, I've gotten lost, and I am not sure how to find my way back. No, I don't mean physically, or even mentally. I am talking about being lost spiritually. A feeling that is unerving to those who hold their faith as an important tenet of life. Please understand that I am NOT one of those bible thumping, hard-nosed, judgemental Christians that the media does such a wonderful job of portraying. I do have my beliefs, and personal opinions associated with them, but I don't allow my beliefs to cast out anyone. Christ didn't ostracize people, and why those are said to be followers of Christ do, I will never understand.

I've allowed influences to enter my life, to cloud my judgement, and numb me. I haven't felt God in quite sometime, so long that it honestly scares me. I've been in that place before, but it is not a place I care to revisit. It has been so easy to allow past mistakes, current situations, and future uncertainties drag me through the dirt. Had I maintained my spiritual relationship, these things would have been nothing more than things.

In any sense, there are some things that must change. Life isn't what I want it to be, therefore it is time to make things happen. Stay tuned for those changes.
