ok. so with everything that is going on now im really trying to live the whole letting go and letting God. all my frustrations and insecurities im not going to worry about. instead im going to trust on the fact that God has it in his hands and i just have to really on him to get me through whatever problems i may be facing. its so awesome to know there is a God who is bigger than all the issues we face in this life and that he is always there no matter how far we may go.
here is my prayer tonight:
God,
let me let go of the things that have been holding me down recently. the struggles ive been facing internally and externally. help me to be confident in who you made me to be and know that it is enough. let me really on you that you have got it all in your hands and your plan is way bigger than mine. let me not be frustrated with the bumps in the road but try to embrace them. let me continue to focus on you in all that i do no matter how many distractions will pop up. let me follow your will and not my own. let me let go and let you take control.
amen

have you ever felt insecure about something? lately i feel like that feeling has overtaken me... like im not good at anything i do. i just keep screwing things up. im not confident in myself and who i am. the littlest things, which dont normally, intimidate me. i feel so out of myself. i know that God made me who i am and that i am perfect the way i am it just feels like im not.
God, help me to be secure in who it is that you made me to be.
i hate insecurity!

for me confrontation is something i hate. i would rather just push it under the rug than have to bring something up with someone. i just dont like it. its not me. but i had to take a huge step today and do just that. it wasnt easy but i think the longer you hold something in the more the devil gets a hold and plays mind games with you. in my case i started to think that i wasnt needed and that what i did really didnt amount to anything. finally after being truthful in how i really felt, things have already started to feel better. when you let it out, it makes things so much easier because if you hold it in you just hold a grudge and will end up blowing up later. sometimes you have to confront people no matter how hard it is so that you can move on and get over whatever it is thats bugging you.
ah. i feel so much better!
ah. i feel so much better!

Lord, help me be patient

this past weekend pastor matt said something that really hit me. it was how no matter what people said (his pastor, dad, friends, whoever) it wasnt until he decided he wanted to change that the change actually occurred. i have had several friends who are like that. friends who are making unwise choices but i cant change their mind. this is huge to me because i hate seeing my friends fall. but there comes a point where you have to step back and just pray for and encourage them to make the right decisions. there is nothing more you can do.
until they decide that they want to change and do better--they wont do it. so as hard as it may be to just watch sometimes theres nothing more you can do. just pray and know that God has something in store.
later ya'll
