confrontation...no way!

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!

concert

so thursday night i went to the one republic concert at fiu. biatti opened for them. it was pretty good. it was awesome to see friends up there playing. here are some pics

patience is a virtue

one of the biggest things i struggle with is patience. im sure a lot of people do too but lately its been happening even more. ive got to learn that my timing isnt the right way and God's is.

Lord, help me be patient

complicated enough

so last night i was told that i am a complicated person....hard to read, all the works

what do you think?

stepping back

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
