stressing out

Okay so I am on my NEW laptop (thank you Aunt Ellen!). Just thought I would let you know :D

So I'm feeling a little stressed out. Growing up can be stressful for those of you who didn't know. I am feeling rushed to get my GED so that I can got to college in the fall. No GED = no college. I have no money, what 17 year old does? I have no clue how I'm going to pay for school. I cant take out loans because I wont be able to pay them off once I get out of school. Missionaries don't make enough money to do that. It's kind of scary knowing that you are going to go into the mission field. It requires a lot of faith and trust in the Lord. I mean I have NO idea where I'm going to be a missionary to, and I know for a fact that money will not be something I have a lot of. It is just like walking around in the dark, I don't know where I'm going, when I'm going, how I'm getting there, the language I will be speaking, or how long I'm going to be there. I'm just walking around in the dark listening for Gods voice to guide me to where I need to be. Things are just very unclear right now making life a tad bit difficult.

I'm doin good!

EVERYONE!

Today is day 20 of no SI! I haven’t cut or burnt for 20 days! WOOP WOOP!

God is awesome and He is the reason I have made it this far. Without Him I don’t think I would be doing so well. Sure it’s hard sometimes but just because it’s hard that does not mean that He is not there with me every step of the way. I can feel Him there with me encouraging me and helping me every time I begin to fall. I know that as long as I keep focused on Him I will be ok.

Bring The Rain

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings
You glory And I know there'll
Be days When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to
Praise You Jesus, bring the rain

I love this song! Its called Bring The Rain by mercyme. You should check it out.

Did my devos

Ok so I haven’t been doing my devos as often as I probably should be. I did like really good the first week and then I just kindu slacked off. I’m really good at slacking off lol. So I just spent my lunch period catching up on my devos. I think I caught up on like 5 days so I’m now only a few days behind so that’s good.

But yea so I just finished my devos and I feel kindu refreshed. I am still kindu feeling depressed but not as depressed (it’s a good thing). I have also decided that I think like the first like 4 or 5 verses of John chapter 1 are like my favorite verses ever in my life. I really need to get back into Gods word on a more regular basis... like on a daily basis. I don’t know if it will “cure” my depression but maybe you never know. God does some cool stuff and it wouldn’t hurt to find out. But yea devos are good and I was really disappointed when I had to stop reading John 1 and go back to lame math class so hopefully the rest of my day goes by quickly so I can go home and finish the chapter or maybe just get completely caught back up on my devos... who knows.

Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong

When I'm blind, You shine Your light on me

Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability
