We learn that the one person who`d never let you down, probably will. The one person that you never thought would be there for you, will be. You`re going to have fights with your friends, you`re going to lose some of your friends.. & you may even fall in love with one of your friends. You will eventually lose someone you love, and love someone you never thought you`d find. people are going to hate you, love you, love to hate you, and hate to love you. But the ones you mean the most to, will always be there. Remember, you will never lose a friend, you only learn who your real ones are.

I pray this changes your life, like it changed mine when I watched it last night.

God's Chisel

I've been looking back on my life lately.. It's finally senior year, and as excited as I'm supposed to be, I'm terrified. I feel at times like I am looking at the world and as people see me I slip past because they feel that because they can't grip me, they might as well not try.  Sometimes I don't feel like there is anyplace where I can simply be me, all layers, all complexity, except with my family, who all infinitely understand and love me.  I know that God loves and understands me, and though I know that should be enough, sometimes loneliness consumes me and I feel that I have a certain role to play with people, or they won't want me around. Sometimes I become tired of defending why sometimes I feel this emptiness inside while at other times I feel like my heart is so full it might just explode with love. I know I am not alone in this, but sometimes I feel like to others, it just doesn't matter. Sometimes it feels like Christ has been no longer on my mind as He used to be and I was substituting HIM for something not even close to his glory, love or level. Living a double life much?

Let's be as honest as it gets.. I'll come out of high school with quality friends, not quantity. In fact, I'm sure I'll just be able to count them on two hands, and that is all. I'm okay with that. Jesus didn't have friends, he had disciples. People that wanted to be like HIM, those that wanted to follow in HIS footsteps, because HIS path was right. I want people to want what I have. I want them to want to be like me, because I want to be like Jesus. I want to be honest about who I am, but I feel like that's going to be so hard this year. Sometimes I feel like I'm taking steps backwards in understanding my place in the world, instead of stepping forward into what God has in store for my life.

Pray for me?
