I am lost without my creator—the author of my life. It’s amazing how easily He is forgotten. Midterms are this week. My focus has been on my own hectic schedule; instead of my turning my countenance toward the loving God who wants to be a part of every aspect of my life. I have betrayed Him. I am ashamed—naked, vulnerable, and guilty.
The Lion King (1994) was one of my favorite Disney movies as a child. My last name is “Lyons,” so it was hard for me to see Mufasa (the father lion) killed, because I took it like it was my own “Lyons” Daddy. Later in the movie, Mufasa comes to his son (Simba) through a “day dream” where he tells Simba to "remember who he is". This wasn't in reference to his name. Simba had become lazy and refused to take on the responsibilities he inherited with the death of his father and Mufasa wants for Simba to remember these responsibilities, because they are a part of who he is.
I am a child of God. The Lord wants to remind me everyday, but I don’t always give Him opportunity—I watch T.V. rather than spending time in his Word, I listen to music on YouTube instead of singing to Him, I talk to friends rather than praising, pleading with, glorifying Him through the avenue of prayer. But today, I have awoken and I am reminded. Praise the Lord!
May the Lord bless you and keep you.

I am so glad that I found someone that loves the Lion King as much as I do. It was also my favorite childhood movie and it is still one of my favorites. I seriously could watch it everyday. It is something about the message and it inspires me so much. My grandmother even took me to see the Broadway play last year and it was unreal. I know that there is more to this blog than the Lion King but I just had to comment about that.
