  • i have just had a really whirlwind of a day. i am so sick to my stomache with my actions, they bring tears to my eyes. i am such a weighty dissapointment to my friends and my Father. i look like the good Christian girl and behind these eyes is hurt and despair. longing for a love that cant be satisfied through worldly things. why must i look to him to fill me? all it is is lies. they are piled on mile high and all i can see is the top, the shiny ones that i want. and i take them, them all in. and then, i see the pile and realize how far deep i am in my own mistakes. will i ever be able to get out? will i ever be forgiven for all the shiny things i have said yes to and all the God things i have turned away?

    i realized tonight through the help of some very dear friends that the easiest and most successful way to cope with this is to cut him out, and not allow him to dangle shiny things in my face. i dont need his shiny things. and in turn what i do need is to work on my self worth. the more i can stand up to him and his shininess the more confident i will be in my own worthiness. i dont need him to feel loved and to love. i have friends and hopefully Jesus who i can show that love to. i just cant stand the fact that i let it happen again. no sin is greater than another a friend said. i am a sinner and so are they, but God hates the sin and not the sinner. thank goodness.

    this will be my 5th week at church in clarion. i hope that after tomorrow i will have enough will power to engage in the scripture and prayer. this walking alone thing is tough and i am just to stubborn to go out on a limb and quit being stingy with my time enought to give Him what is rightfully his. maybe i need to go back to journaling at the least. but what happens is that i just want to write about the shiny stuff and not the blessings. He blesses me even though i am not obedient.

  • lately life has just been like what in the world am i thinking right. like decision after the next has seemed to be an ok one, until you look back. they say hind sight is 20/20. now dont get me wrong, i dont do regrets. because had i not made those decisions, i wouldnt be who i am, and i like who i am most days. now God on the other hand, i am sure he is pretty dissappointed. but you know what, there are people out there who are mighty incredible friends who have been there for me to dump on when i was down. and their advice of course are things that i already know and what i know i need to do to make things better between God and i.

     

    the thing is it takes an extra measure of grace to come to those conclusions on your own...to a point where you are ready to act upon them, where you say "yes God, i am ready for you to mold me into that beautiful creation you set out for me to be". at that moment you know He smiles and thinks welcome back my child. because you know that no matter how dark your world may seem, once you ahve invited Him into your heart, he will never leave. and no matter how dark things appear around you, as long as you have said YES once, only once, that light is ever present, and never again can you be in utter darkness. bc even with just a little light, the darkness is broken and cant exist fully.

     

    here are some lyrics from Sarah Buxton's "that kind of day"

    Ha ha, it's gotta go up from here.
    Today is gonna disappear,
    An' nothin's gonna interfere, whoa, oh.
    Gonna buy myself some flowers,
    An' then spend a couple a-hours,
    Talkin' to my Higher Power, whoa, oh.
    Ask Him why life's this way.
    (Ask Him why.)
    Yeah, I'm gonna ask Him why my life's this way,
    (Why's my life this way?)
    There's just no tellin' what He's gonna say.
    Oh, it's just that kind of day.

    i like how she calls God her higher power. and you know what after having that kind of day, you really do need to take some time out for Him. no matter how tired or crappy your life seems. man, i am glad i am coming back around.

  • dinosaurs and such

            so there is this guy i know who plays with dinosaurs all day long. and he loves it! but he gives me so much to think about. like my life and what i want to do rather than what i am expected to do by my mom.  this kid i met a few weeks ago was like you need to follow your heart, and if that means leaving school do it. how is that possible? i have spent so much money coming to college. all thats in my heart is ministering to people on the streets. i look to this kid that im speaking of and be like howcome he can do what Jesud wants and i cant. i really admire how he wants to live his life that way.
            part of me wishes i knew more. i am that Christian who is like who can i get to church so that the preacher can convert them. i want to be able to talk to people about stuff like Jesus. but...i dont know what to change. how to change. what do i do. what dont i do. is the way i talk to people the wrong way. maybe i need to read the gospels again so that i can see all the cool awesome things that He did, bc i dont know if i know about all of them. ya know.
            alright well im gonna go, these are a lot of good things to think about, especially since lately all i can think of is a boy. i really need to get back to that whole G.A.B thing from the summer.
