I’m not going to lie; the last few weeks have been really
rough. My relationships haven’t gone as planned, lots of doubts have crept in,
the stress has become over-whelming, and people have just been mean. But, at my
worst moments this week, God has been there, and it is so evident as I was
reflecting on my week tonight.
~~~~~~
When I was crying about being alone, my friend Debra texted
me and we went out to dinner together.
As I doubted my thoughts on a future career, God sent me encouragement.
As my self-esteem got a little shaky, God sent me Casey.
As I got angry at school, God had my mommy text me to
encourage me.
~~~~~~
But here’s the thing, I had to go to God and say I can’t be
a senior alone, to get help. I hate asking for help. But I couldn’t get help if
I didn’t ask for it. Being a Christian doesn’t mean going at it all alone, it
means joining a community of people who give and take. When I need help, I have
people to help me. When you need help, ask someone. Maybe that first person isn’t
the one that’s meant to help you, but there will be someone there to help you.
Don’t get discouraged; get encouraged by the love of God. There will always be
someone there for you, you just have to ask.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I
will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle
and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is
easy and my burden is light.”
-Matthew 11:28-30
