Camp Rock...This Is Me...

Yestetrday nite, I caught the much anticpated Disney Channel Original Movie featuring the Jonas Brothers in fact, before, the show, I was already busy listening to my newly bought Camp Rock soundtrack, so i sort of got a sneak preview into the music in the show. The hit song was, "This Is Me", which epitomised the show, and both things amazingly spoke to me...so here it is...

[Demi Lovato]I've always been the kind of girl

That hid my face

So afraid to tell the world

What I've got to say

But I have this dream

Bright inside of me

I'm gonna let it show

It's time to let you know

To let you know...

[Chorus]This is real, this is me

I'm exactly where I'm supposedTo be now

Gonna let the light shine on me

Now I've found who I am

There's no way to hold it in

No more hiding who I want to be

This is me

Do you know what it's like

To feel so in the dark To dream about a life

Where you're the shining star

Even though it seems

Like it's too far away

I have to believe

In myself, it's the only way

[Chorus]

[Joe Jonas]You're the voice I hear inside my head

The reason that I'm singin'

I need to find you

I gotta find you

You're the missin' piece I need

The song inside of me

I need to find you

I gotta find you

[Both]

[Chorus]

This is me...This is me..

[Joe Jonas]

You're the missing piece I need

The song inside of me

You're the voice I hear

Inside my head

The reason that I'm singin'

[Both]

There's no way to hold it in

No more hiding who I want to be

This is me

So anw, this is how it spoke to me...Well, I realised that for the longest time I've been always concerned with how others look at me when to be honest, I don't really care and I was always feeling as if my situation made me not good enough especially when it came to my lack of friendships. I was also constantly plagued by a sense that I was not living life to the fullest. But yea, even though, this song is not a Christian song, but I believe that God used this song to remind me about the fact that He has created me this way which is perfect in the light of His awesome plan for each and every one of our lives. This song together with the show taught me that I should just truly be myself and not chase after everything for the sake of it, to feel complete but to be who God created me to be, myself and all I needed to do to live life fully for God's glory was to do only what the Lord sets in my heart to do. And, with regards to the lack of friends, I realised that as long as I be myself I will naturally have friends and friends that are true for they like me for who I am and not anything else...so perhaps if I don't really have that many friends perhaps it just that a haven't found the friends who truly like me who I am, and I don't have to pretend to be something I'm not to have friends, so I should let this situation bother me. For, all I have to be is myself, and that is not to say that I should selfishly stick to myself or do something that is not right but what it means is that I should be content with my looks, personality and talents. God created each and every one of us differently for His perfect plan and we use our own unique ways to glorify the Lord. So, I realise now that, I have to be nothing else but myself...because this is me whether you like it or not, and I don't need to hide behind anything, naturally, i would say what defines me is REAL or AUTHENTIC, but somehow, i just didn't see that in respect to whole friendship thing I was upset and thought that it was something wrong with me which was actually in essence forgetting the truth that all i have to be is me and I was forgetting about the whole authenticity thing, but truly I am a authentic person and I'm not afraid of showing who I am, so i guess, truly I will just be me. And, I just need to hold on to the hope that I will find true friends who like for who I am. In fact, we all have one friend who is true and love us for who we are, and that is God.

So my prayer is that God will make everyone, myself included the person He intended for us to be. Thus, truly, let us be who we are in Christ. Let's not be afraid to reveal our true selves in Christ, and be a shinning light for God. From now on, this is me and I'm going to just be me, and I am created for God's glory. Well, TRULY THIS IS ME...
