so the thing is that I am a terrible person. I am no better than you, her, or the person to the left of you. I make mistakes so often it makes the perfectionist in me turn a couple hundred times. the worst part of all is that it’s mostly concealed. and I think that is always, ALWAYS the worst thing any sane person could do. is attempt to conceal our flaws, so we appear flawless,...
my brother is going through depression, so if you guys can all pray for him I would really appreciate it.
beauty, in the physical worldly spectrum, is just so incredibly limiting. It’s placed in this box with a couple breathing holes. Defined as bam, bam, bam and nothing else. the breathing holes-plastic surgery, makeup, hair dye,etc.- SEEMINGLY attempt to fix the problem, but you just end up “making more holes” and more, more, more until the end result is a stabbed up box. oh, how...

so i kind of realized over this past weekend, that over the past year i’ve done a complete 150 :) i’ll be completely raw with you. i was ridiculously insecure, obsessive, a pushover (mainly because i didn’t really have the ability to stand my ground). i relied on so many ridiculous things to get me through the day- bizarre music that i kind of didn’t even like, but...
JESUS
today is a new day, nothing will hold me back from giving my all. because your power is far stronger than anything. through you, i can accomplish EVERYTHING. without you, i’m purposeless. i’m selfish, vain; in you, all this vanishes. it’s never a memory with you. oh how i long to be like you. how i wish i had your selfless, humble heart. everything I do is for you
PUNISHMENT
it’s BEYOND AMAZING how jesus restores. it’s crazy like i just want to scream out his name in the middle of my dorm room! but that would wake up my roommate. and my entire hall. and the cows. these past couple days i’ve just been feeling so dissatisfied and weird. i just felt so distant. so incredibly distant, mainly because i chose to be. but tonight, all i did was pray and now...

“God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid”
– Isaiah 12:2, he really certainly is, no words could be more true. i really needed to hear this
oh, mistakes
how easy it is to fall right back into your old ones blows my mind. maybe that’s why change is so hard. we’re all so fallible.

i think this world is too blinded by the incompetence, sex, “love”, pressure to be accepted, that it’s lost sight of a whole other world out there that needs attention and we’re all in denial. life is not about our own success but the success of us as a whole. and honestly, there’s no success in other parts of the world, but it’s suddenly “okay”...
