I decided to post again since I don't post very often. I recently went to see Les Miserables with 2 of my guyfriends. I love the song Who Am I that Jean Valjean sings when Javert thinks they found Jean Valjean and apologizes to the real Jean Valjean about wanting to arrest him. Once Jean Valjean leaves he sings this song about how could he condemn this man to slavery but yet if he doesn't then his workers won't survive. My favorite lines in the song are: "Must I lie? How can I ever face my fellow men? How can I ever face myself again? My soul belongs to God, I know I made that bargain long ago. He gave me hope when hope was gone. He gave me strength to journey on. Who am I? Who am I? I am Jean Valjean."
These lines ring so true to me. I have fallen short of who I am and wasn't sure if I could face myself again. I give and have given God my soul and He truly gave me hope when hope was gone. He constantly gives me strength to journey on because of this fact I know who I am. I am Chelsea Newsome, a Daughter of God, which no one can take that knowledge from me. I am grateful for this knowledge because even though I don't know what the future knows God does. He is constantly guiding me to where He needs and wants me to be. I trust Him because of the strength He has given me and the hope.
