through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
because His compassions fail not.
they are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.-lamentations 3:22-23
everything i am and have is because of His great compassion. why do i forget so often?

Brokenness is never an easy state|
Broken relationships, broken friendships, broken hearts and broken lives. Change is difficult but being obedient to the Lord is such a peaceful feeling within my heart that is different and hard to understand in this moment. I know that what we did was the right thing, but I am just feeling to vulnerable to Your will Lord, and it scares me. I don’t want to be scared of vulnerabiltity because I know You have things for me that are greater than I can even comprehend. I don’t want my fear to dictate my life anymore because I know that you hold my life and You have complete and utter control over me. I am forever thankful for Your love, peace and goodness in these times. & Not even these times, but all the time. I realize some of this may not make any sense to you, but I just felt the need to write.
Give Up The Ship
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Psalm 143:8
“If Christ is the center, everything changes. No longer do you live to serve you; you live to serve Him. You strive not to fulfill your will, but His. No longer do you demand your way, but you seek His way. Your aim is not your pleasure, but His honor. You are no longer the master of your domain; God is. Your first question is not, ‘What do I want to do today?’ But, rather, ‘What is God doing and how can I be a part it?’ It’s not about you and me. It’s about Him.”

Never in my life have I ever felt this overwhelmed...
I am overwhelmed with school, relationships, my job and just life overrall. I am the worst when it comes to handling stress. I am in my junior year at Liberty and it has just been slapping me in the face. Reality is settling in as to what I want to do with the rest of my life. I realize I am not, nor really ever, going to have all the answers and I feel like I am having a hard time with that. I need my God and His love to sustain me in this moment, and well, frankly the rest of my life. I don’t know how to change myself or not affect everyone else around me… I feel like I am cripling everyone around me because I am not myself and i’ll lash out and for those who know me, that is not how I would act. I need help, I need prayer and I need guidance.
I realize this is all a ramble, but I needed to get this off my chest because I can’t express this any other way but with writing.
You took this life that once was frail
And gave a strength where hopelessness won’t prevail
And there’s life more abundantly
Your beauty Lord, I know it captures me
Your sweet embrace, it brings me to my knees
Oh, You capture me!
