Why is it I get so discouraged? This world often weighs so heavy on me it brings me to tears. The vain, frivolous lifestyles..the superficiality..it saddens me..it angers me. There is so much more to life than clothes..image..popularity. So much more. I wish I could be myself in the midst of this world..by why is it so hard?? I can't even pretend to be alright anymore. I'm not even capable of it. I've been broken..the pride and fear have paralyzed me for way too long. Each day is a struggle..a battle for me. But why? I have so much to be thankful for. There have been so many awesome things that have happened in my life these past couple years..amazing things! I've grown so much closer to God..and I've had a hunger for the Word like never before. Yet at those times that's when it all gets harder. Everything. It's so true that our battle is not with flesh and blood but with the rulers of the darkness of this age and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Eph.6:12). I must take up the full armor of God everyday. Lord I need your strength even to take up this armor. Strengthen my faith. Lord I believe..help my unbelief!

wow..............................................................  I agree.  In a world where everything and everyone we know of and... love, are so often seen for what they are, fake, we can only stand on the truth.  Here's the part that hurts the most though, I'm so often fake and hating the idea of being fake.  I hate that, because my goal is to be like Christ.  I think I've honestly gone through this entire semester, which has been the hardest three months of my life, just to come closer to the truth that God himself is the only thing I can depend on.  That is so overused and lightly so it's not even funny, but it's true and I think if I can just realize this....  maybe things would be different.  Keep your chin up sister and keep it real!

                                                                                                               In Christ,

                                                                                                                 Steve

Hi.  I know we don't talk much in school, but I definitely will be praying for you...I certainly know how it is to struggle with being yourself and trying to stay afloat in a world that seems determined to drown you.  One thing that I find helps with trying to be yourself is realizing, and it's a sad realization, that you really can't trust or rely on any of them anyways...so what does it matter what they think?  See ya around school and all that. 

In Christ,

Charlie
