leaving the shadows

So it  has  occurred to me that  we  each have shadows  lurking  around especially  in the light.  now  where am i going with this  i guess you  will have  to  read to  find out........
  so  there  the  other night  i was in an all  worship service at a young adults service.  and God kept  bringing up shadows (come on now shadows!!!!) yes shadows  what  about  shadows i thought to myself.  God was like  "elz  there is so many shadows in churches today.  people  pretending and wearing these  shadows  to  take cover  to who they really  are.. how  true is that?  i mean  we go through this I  want to be  accepted  faze. we want to be liked  so much that we take cover and hide the  real us. this is  what i call the  shadow. why do we feel  so inadequate i wander?
  there is such a search for  significance to belong  to  know who we are,  yet  the truth is in front of us  the truth is  in gods word his promises  his truth.Are you  having the  fight of your  life?  your  relationships  are going  blah and your  life  just seems so stalemate.  the past  year has been  kind of like that for me.  i have been  fighting to find my place.  fighting  when all strength is gone and praying  for someone to offer  strength to  carry  me through the toughest   seasons. 
  I  don't  talk to you  as to  try and tell you  who you  have to be  but to  watch out  for  the  shadows the pretentious minded.  you  see we  get caught in our pretentious  mind set.  i  don't know how many times i have believed that the  realest  of the  real  sides of me would come out of hiding.  are you with me i mean i know that I'm not alone in this. we  kind of have this place in all of us  where sometimes the shadows are  what  we choose  what we feel the  emotions.
  when we make  dumb  choices the  shadows begin to take over  i know that  sounds  off perhaps  but the shadows  represent the enemy.  at least  in this  blog that's  what  i mean by shadows.  
who  you  going to follow  Gods truth or  the  shadows that will  toss you  to and  fro with every passing  wind?
