I know I get dramatic and depressed sometimes. And I know that can be annoying. But I also know that I'm still fighting to be better--to be who God wants me to be. It's a constant battle between myself, the Devil, the world and God. Luckily, I know, God will prevail and in his arms I will rest.
I'm not giving up hope that God has great plans for me. Even if it is growing up to only be a stay-at-home mom, I'll do it. Sure, I'll throw a fit so loud everyone in Asia can hear it but I'll evidently do it. Even if that means being a lousy dancer, artist, writer, ect. I'll live with it. Once again, I'll throw the biggest hissy fit know to the world but like I said...I'll do it, won't I?
Sad how as God's creations we tend to forget who made us. The Bible says that God will never leave our sides for he made us! He formed us with his own hands. Yet we doubt those hands powers. We doubt their skill. Kind of--stupid--right? Of course because it's human nature to be stupid!
It always takes me a while to realize when I'm being totally stupid and when I do I'm really embarrassed. If people could see my blushing easily [plus to darker skin!] then I'd be red all the time!
Anyway, I just want the world to know that I know I'm a little drama queen at times but that's just something I can improve on right? I mean, if there was no room for improvement then why would we need God? We still would but we wouldn't realize we did.
I love all the people who read my blog---and those who don't. I love how you guys deal with my bad post and my worse grammar. I love how you guys act like you love me, even when I don't think I'm worth anything.
Mainly, I love God for every single thing he does. Everything.
Because, really, where would I be without him?
I pray for all my friends who are/have gone/going/about to go through rough times. I know, trust me, that it feels like no one has it as bad as you. But remember, all those feelings we have about being rejected or hurt, Christ felt from childhood to his death on the cross. Amazing right? And never once did he sin. Never.
Therefore, pray for me and I will pray for you. Pray for those you know and those you don't know. There is never a prayer that goes unheard. God makes sure of this.
And before I leave [well, you know what I mean.] I want you to think of the one thing that is hurting you the most at the moment and ask God to take it. Just do it even if you don't believe it will help. Because often the things we don't believe in are the truth.
Love y'all!

When you don't feel worth it, rely on the knowledge that a lot of people DO think you're worth it. Let our love carry you through the times when you can't love yourself :) We love you enough for the both of us!

Kendra- I'll try to!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you guys could possibly love me as much as I love y'all. [Sappy fest over here. Haha!]
By the way, we need to talk sometime. I need to know what's up in your life.
Kendra's post is absolutely right!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, and you're right, we can all improve and grow. This part really spoke to me: "But remember, all those feelings we have about being rejected or hurt, Christ felt from childhood to his death on the cross. Amazing right? And never once did he sin. Never." I have no excuses, no matter how much I've been hurt. I've known that, but never thought about it in terms of Christ before...kind of a refreshing thought :). I'll be praying for you :)

"I remember my affliction and my wandering,
ReplyDeletethe bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
Lamentations 3: 19-24
Someone had the same feelings over 2000 years ago, and God included it in his Word. We are not alone.
