God's Promises for every day

This book is amazingly helpful to the Christian life.

Re-Realizing

I always seem to find a way to forget about the peace I have in Christ.
Luckily, someone else remembered and reminded me before too long.
And then I remembered that it really is true. That no matter what I'm going through, whether it's hard or sad or confusing or whatever, there can be peace.
Because I know that in light of eternity, whatever is going on now is like nothing. A vapor, but dust, light and momentary affliction.
I am still eternally secure in the arms of grace.

Eternally secure.

More Confusion

I really just want to die and go to heaven.
I don't like dealing with things.
I don't like being the weak one.
I don't like failing repeatedly.
I don't like feeling depressed.
I don't like crying all the time.
I don't like wasting my time.
I don't like having no passion.
I don't like the way things are.
I don't like having such little faith.
I don't like waking up lately.

Praying for me would be an appropriate and very appreciated response.

Confusion

Leaf.
Falling.
Free.
Wind.
Scared.
Spin.
Twist.
Turn.
Jerk.
Branch.
Break.
Collapse.
Air.
Light.
Smooth.
Grass.
Soft.
Cool.
Safe.

I am not in control. My only actions are reactions. I have no power in myself. I am falling. I am entirely free. I am alone. I am held. I am a breath.

All I want is to be alone and quiet and still. But all I want is to be together and talking and fun.

Inside I feel so peaceful about life in its entirety, and at the same time I feel like contemplating each day leaves my mind a mess.

I have no idea what I'm doing right now, but I know what I'm doing, and I love it and I hate it.

Physical Exhaustion

can lead to
Spiritual Exhaustion.

"man"hood

If you actually read this, you probably already knew that I turned 18 on Friday. Supposedly I'm an adult now, a real man. I don't really feel any different. I think I would rather take life hour-by-hour and day-by-day instead of stage-by-stage. Every day I'm one day older than the day before. On Friday I became one day older than I was on Thursday, and that's enough of a change for me to handle. The shorter of measurements I use for my life, the more I think I'll enjoy it and appreciate. I might not get another 80 years, but chances are, I'll get another 80 days. I'm going to try to enjoy every day I can. I am truly thankful for the sunrise this morning, and for waking up, and for being able to breathe. He is faithful.

Gotta Catch'em All!

So I found my gameboy(advance SP) and my favorite pokémon game(Sapphire) the other day. And I've been playing almost non-stop. I might be addicted. And I'm definitely a loser.
