You Are Nobody Until You Have Somebody

What a lie. A perfect example of something the world screams to distract us from heaven.

You Are Nobody Until You Have Somebody

"You are nobody until you have somebody."

I heard that in a recent single released this past Friday for "New Music Friday" on Spotify. The words made me stop and think.

What a lie. A perfect example of something the world screams to distract us from heaven.

The song went on to talk about how there is no purpose in life until you have someone loving you and you love them. It is centered around the idea that our life end goal is the have THAT relationship. I feel like often times this is how the world wants to make me feel. It presses sadness because I am not checking off the list of what it looks like to have it all together. It whispers that once I am just married, then life is going to smooth out. There is so much more to it though.

I am here to tell you today that it is true. You are nobody until you have somebody.

Without Jesus I am NOTHING.

He makes me everything that I am because His love and His grace have changed my life forever. He loves me aside from my messiness, and that is the only way that I can be even a little bit "good." He CREATED me so in Him I find everything that I am.

A boyfriend isn't going to make you somebody. A girlfriend isn't going to make you someone. We can go even further than the realm of relationships and say a job isn't going to make you somebody. Jesus designed you, so carefully He crafted you, to be someone without an earthly someone. You have a purpose within yourself.

Don't read this and think that I am trying to be critical of relationships because I'm not. They are a great ministry when you realize that TOGETHER you can pursue the Lord, challenge one another, and make a difference for the Kingdom. How beautiful and how sweet that it is to have that opportunity. The mindset that we have is what is the game changer. If another person is where we are placing our self-value and our worth than we have it all wrong.

Nothing, not an individual or a thing, is going to be able to fill us up as Christ does. Don't get down and out on yourself because you feel like you aren't following the world. Going against the pattern of the world is the best thing to do at the end of every day. If we listen to its whispers, then we are going to become just like it, but Jesus has called us higher.

He is using you every day of your life.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
