Struggles aren't forever. I wish I could convince myself this.


Some more rain today, which is making all the struggles seem all the more real and illiterate.

Some reasoning: God tests your faith in all the ways he can.
Question: Is he trying to make you feel pain?
Answer: No. Quite the opposite, actually.

I guess I've been going through a lot lately. Will I make it through? Absolutely. Will it be a bit difficult? Of course.
I'm so tired of having to deal with hatred and people who try to hurt me and the people I love. Sometimes I wish I knew why I was in certain situations.
I say to people all the time, eliminate all the negative people from your life.
Sometimes, I'm sorry to say, I'm too helpless to be able to do this.

I frequently forget that I'm still a child and shouldn't have to deal with everything at once. I sometimes don't remember that I can't fix a lot of things on my own. I need some tools, and a carpenter from time to time to help me. Jesus, are your carpentry skills still okay?

Please. Don't. Let anyone tell you you aren't beautiful. Truth be told: you are. Inside & out.
Please. Remember. God made you just how you are.
It may seem that the ocean waves are taking you under, and you may feel it's hard to breathe. Don't worry. God won't let you drown. Sometimes you have to feel pain to truly understand what joy is. I believe that so much. Whole-heartedly.

Ignorant people will eventually be destroyed. Not in some weird war way. Not literally. You understand what I mean, right? :)

I want things to stop hurting, and for it all to go away. Everything was going SO well, and now... it feels like the wall I worked on so hard is now falling down.

It was nice last night to just cry and not hold back...for someone to tell me what I DIDN'T want to hear and to tell me it would all be okay. And that they would be here for me no matter what.

Why does something amazing happen after every bad situation?
I'll let you figure that out ;)
