I'm new to this whole thing. Bear with me =]
So lately I've been struggling a lot.
There's been so much on my plate,
and it seemed like everything was falling apart.
Could anything else go wrong?
This song is how I was feeling for a while.....
RESCUE ME
I've drifted so far
Can't even see the shore
I've been lost in the waves
But haven't been fighting
I'm sinking fast
Oh is there an end to this
I can't breathe I'm in too deep
But You can save me
I'm crying out to You
I'm drowning in my decisions
And I'm frustrated and I'm disappointed
It's my world You see and I want out
So come and rescue me
I'm here on bended knee
And I'm crying out to You
All I really, really want is to be free
So take my hand here I am
Oh come and free me
So take my hand here I am
Oh come and rescue me
Buttttttttt, this morning, God totally broke me down. I was listening to this song and I started crying. Heres part of it...
Jesus if you're really there,
I need you now cause no one cares
Is anybody even listening
God will never walk out on you
He'll be the Father that you never knew
He loves you, more than words can say
He won't leave you when you need Him the most
His love is unconditional
And you know, you put a smile upon His face
=]
I've realized why I've been the way I was...I was drifting...but the coolest thing about God is that He wants us. And He was trying to break me down so that I could see that. And it worked. I was letting other things occupy my time, and I was definitely stressed with finishing school and IB exams. I tried to do it alone, and figure things out on my own, but God showed me that I cant. I need to trust in Him, and allow Him to guide me. What JJ said a while ago: if you are close with God and stay with Him, He will make your path straight. That is extremely true. We have an awesome God, who desires to have a relationship with us; we must always remember that!!!

First of all Babe I'm your First post! So.. welcome to the Blogging community. Beautiful blog I love the way you set it up.
Second: I know exactly what you are talking about with the being stressed and trying to do things yourself. God has really showed me over the past few days that Its not what we can do on our own. Its more what God can Use us for. Babe remember that you are always loved not just by me or by your friend but by Our Heavenly Father!! Check this: God has put this in my mind something that i need to wake up and Realize everyday. First thing God sent His son to earth so that we could Kill him. People thought they where doing our Selfish world some good by getting rid of a person Who was claiming that he was God and equal with God. But in turn we helped fulfill the most beautiful gift any person could ever receive... salvation!
The third thing: God has really been showing me His love and how He will never leave us. In Genesis 3 it talks about the fall of man and even in the midst of our disobedience God still clothed us to protect us from the elements (Gen 3:21). God Loves us. He shows us this with action and by Just being God. David Crowder has a Song that makes me cry every time i hear it ( Never Let Go ) And that is exactly what God will never do is Let go of us. We are Clutched in the Hands of the Man who Created the Universe. When i say that it just blows my mind to know we are nothing on the scale of the cosmos. But God still takes affection to us. Just remember that even when we get a big head and think we can do everything ourself God is still going to be there with arms wide open.
I love You babe!!! And I'm always here by your side praying for you everyday.
Mel, I love your transparentness. There have been days recently when I have felt the same way and we are years apart in age, but I know exactly how you were feeling. Thanks for the reminder.
Wow, and I don't think I ever knew you had a blog. I need to update mine when I have more time, but thanks for the refreshing reminder on a rather rough day.
If there's one thing we must constantly battle, it's the desire to do things in our own power. That only leads us to burnout and frustration. Sweetness, and I get a shoutout in the blog, pretty cool.
Awww. Cute song. You did awesome for your first blog!
