Read a brief description of the movie 'If I Stay'. I have a feeling if I see it, I will choke on my tears. Watch trailer? Uhm no thanks. Pass.
 
Pray for me. I'm too emotional and sad and stuff. It makes my head hurt. Feelings are stupid.

...Apparently I need more sleep. Lol.

(That wasn't a bitter comment, I swear,..I just kind of chuckled at the thought, lol)

People are insisting that I come chat with them or call... keep in contact how do I explain to them that I go to sleep every night praying that I do not have to wake up the next morning. How to I explain to them the amount of energy it takes for me to get out of bed, let alone force myself to have one small meal a day. How do I try to be normal for them? I am aware that some of my friends need me. I've always been the girl they went to when they were in trouble. Now I'm the one in trouble and I can't face them. I can't do what they are asking me to do. I have no idea what to do with myself anymore. I've given up on the idea of ever being happy.

Go and dump on them for a change. If they are really your friends they won't mind. If they do mind you are better off without all of these relationships where people expect to take and take and take and get support from you and never give anything back. It's ok to be weak and go through hard times; make a list of anyone who says different and as soon as I have the time I will come smack them upside the head for you :) . And yes you are very close to the light at the end of the tunnel, it's just hard to see the light when God has that sharp curve in front of you that's going to make everything work out.

ISIS may be stopped. But we cannot stop other splinter groups from forming. Or from new terrorist organizations to spring up. Unless we humans have a common enemy we will always fight each other.

Common enemy is only a temporary solution either we defeat said enemy and start going at each other again or it destroys us. Now making people think there are vague things to fear and you need a big powerful government or army to protect you from these unspecified terrors, that strategy has already been put to work.

Hey guys... I've been having conflict in my heart and mind and then something occurred in my family that also brought back a lot of painful emotional memories... My initial instinct was to draw near God and draw away from people... But now I see that it is not my own. God revealed these thoughts to me...

Ezekial 16:15 But you thought your fame and beauty were your own. So you gave yourself as a prostitute to every man who came along. Your beauty was theirs for the asking.

Yes. I know it's important to draw near to God when we are going thru difficult times... But what He spoke to me was... Raine, it wasn't you who brought you this far... It wasn't you who allowed relationships to develop... Everything that you are that is and of beauty is from me.

I try to run away... I try to hide... But in the end, everything I have that is beautiful is from The Lord, even the difficult relationships. It isn't up to me how to handle those relationships... It's up to Him. They have belonged to Him from the very beginning. So I will try my best to not worry and simply embrace them with joy as God has called me to do. I will try my best to stop running away from those relationships.

Thank you God. All this beauty I see within me is all from you.

That's beautiful babe......I'm proud of you..xx
 
With other Christians, I have to worry about doing the right thing, and being judged. With nonbelievers, I have to worry doing the right thing, and being judged by God. Either way, there is worry, and judgement.

Don't live life worried about being judged. Live life like you have already been forgiven and rejoice in this because this is the truth. God wants us to live life in him where there is true freedom. :)

Worry what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. Instead try to do what is pleasing to God for everything we do or say should be for His Glory.

Sigh. Shudder. Shiver of Repulsion.

Mild rant here, of which I've stated many times before.

There is a couple at my parents church--the man is a white male in his mid-60's at least, and the young woman he brings to church and holds hands with is an Asian girl probably in her mid-20's. At first I thought they were like me... the older man being the father and the young woman being his daughter, just like I am with my Dad...

But alas. They seem to have no qualms about holding back PDA's. Displays like these are why people think I'm my father's mistress and my Grandpa's girlfriend... and why 75-year-old men (two more in the last week, adding to countless others) constantly flood my dating profiles.

I realize different things work for different people--God bless them all. But for me, when men that much older approach me as a possible dating/sex partner, it just makes me feel like the victim of a pedophile.

It wouldn't bother me if couples like this didn't turn women like me into an entire stereotype.

maybe if you dressed less modestly, you would attract a younger guy instead! :p

This makes me sad......Gods judgement is nothing to worry about ....He is kind and loving....He guides us...to where
we have no fear of Him.....in the bible it says to fear Him...yes....but its not the cowering in the corner kind......
It means respect...or revere....if you continue to study you will find that you cant wait to get the oppurtunity to
please Him...loving judgement...as far as people....well we have issues...and our judgement isnt worth the breathe
its spoken on....it fact pray for the people who judge you......because God says He will judge them more for doing so..
.may peace and joy find you soon...........jo

'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'
(Isaiah 41:10 NASB)

"I—yes, I—am the one who comforts you. Who are you, that you are so afraid of humans who will die, descendants of mere men, who have been made like grass?"
(Isaiah 51:12 ISV)

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
(Psalm 23:4 KJV)

Just wanna pray for the people who went through a 6.0 earthquake in Northern California Bay Area today, especially those of us from CC living in the affected area, that everything is settling down and may the peace of God fall upon you all, and let this be the time of coming together as one body in prayer.
