Well, for those of you that read my last post, it's over. All of it. I have no more classes left--only a couple of tests. Tomorrow night at 6:30, I won't go to community group. Thursday night, there won't be band practice. There'll be no show on Friday or Saturday. All of it is done.
I don't know how to feel or what to think. Who am I now? I'm not a student. I'm not in a band. I'm not in a community group. What am I? I'm an intern at a church...for a month and a half. I'm on a softball team for the summer. These are the only things I have to which I can belong, but they're oh so temporary.
I'm afraid that the only way left to identify myself is through Jesus. All I have left to say is that "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so." Do I have what it takes for that? Can I truly follow Christ and find my identity in him alone? I hope so.
There is nothing for me to hide behind any longer. There's nothing to give me purpose out there. This is proof to me that this world is temporary. All good things must come to an end...except Christ. He is eternal. I pray that I would find myself in things that are eternal.

That's a pretty good post.
you're so dramatic sometimes, but you're also dead on. you do have your identity in Christ, but james, just because cg is over does not mean that your identity has been lost to us that love you. we still know you, and you are still identified as "my good friend james". yes, ultimately and eternally, your identity is as a follower of Jesus and as a member known and loved in the body of Christ.
