| I can't do this anymore. I keep crawling back to my comfort zone, to the way things used to be. God pulled me out of it for a reason, but I am too weak. It just shows how much I need Him in my life- consistently and constantly. I can't be comfortable. I need to be uncomfortable. I always feel as though I need something more, but I never think "I need Him to be in my life. I need to ask for forgiveness. Help me trust in You." It is the materialistic things I ask for, the love we think there is-- I never ask for the real Love, God.
I'm constantly worrying. Am I good enough for them? But most importantly, I wonder if I'm good enough for You..
Faith without deeds mean nothing. We, as Christians, need to be letters of recommendation. Our actions should convey what Jesus did. Right? So hard. I found myself worrying and thinking about it after my jundo preached about it and it lead me back to him. You hear that faith is what ultimately gets you to heaven. But lets really think about it. If you act the same, do the same things, and your heart isn't changed, something is wrong. Now I'm not saying, nor is the bible saying, that you can EARN your way to heaven with the deeds that you do. It is saying that BECAUSE of our faith and love for Jesus, it should be AUTOMATIC and be shown in our actions.
The next worship seminar, we are supposed to worship without boundaries. I admit, I'm kind of scared because I know it will make me uncomfortable. However, David danced and sang for our King..how much more should I.
This week I was faced with something that I never thought would happen. I wasn't sure what or how I should react, seeing as though my parents wanted to keep it a secret between themselves. I'm so thankful it didn't carry through, that I didn't need to switch churches because I am so blessed as I am surrounded by my youth group members, a faithful servant of God -MyJdsn- who makes me want to further my relationship with Him. I know it is possible to be fed in other churches, but ..sigh. I guess there is no but, besides the fact that I really am comfortable in one of the very few places and I like that. I like that church is where I am most comfortable, that I'm surrounded by my brothers and sisters.
We ask for You to come
We are on our knees..
I ask for You to come
I am on my knees.
Father I'm coming home.

| Crunch time.
Yet, I am not stressed. I feel complete.
Thank You God.

| fumbling his confidence
and wondering why the world has passed him by
hoping that he's bid for more than arguments
and failed attempts to fly, fly
we were meant to live for so much more
have we lost ourselves?
I'm constantly reminded of how I want things to be under my control. You know the feeling when someone asks you for help, but you try and fail? Perhaps that someone wasn't asking you to do something great, but I feel like that constantly. I was reminded today of someone younger than me, a sister of mine who recently left our church, and told me that I needed to stop relying on myself/depending on myself and seek God. Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to figure that out if it weren't for her. Ever since I started to question Christianity and God's decisions, I always grew aggravated with His decisions and felt that I should have control over my own life. But now...I am reminded.
