Something Like You

To my readers: I realize that I haven't posted in awhile so this is a poem I wrote last year about my Christian Journey.  Hopefully this can hold you all off for a little while!! XOXO and thanks for reading!

Something Like You

 I was once a lost girl.
 I wore a disguise on my face.
 Walked through the world in camouflage
 I faked my way through life.
 
 I never had enough.
 Enough of anything;
 Time, attention, influences.
 Enough of all the things I wanted.
 
 I always thought there was something more.
 Something out there;
 Something intangible, irreplaceable, immortal.
 Something like: You.
 
 It happened in a second.
 Quick as a blink of an eye.
 Faster than the furious,
 But it was closer than expected.
 
 Suddenly, I was found.
 I wasn’t looking, I  had no idea.
 But You brought me in to being.
 My mask came down.
 
 You breathed new breath into me.
 You gave me a new reason for life.
 I still want more;
 More of Your love and spirit.
 
 I now know: my purpose,
 My reason for being on this Earth,
 The gifts that you have given me,
 And the graciousness of your love.
 
 I am full of new life, new spirit.
 I have a renewal of my heart, body, soul, and mind;
 A fullness that only you can give me.
 Your love has completed me.
