Jesus, Your love has no bounds.

Do you ever feel like, no matter how hard you fight,

it's just a pathetic display  of your willpower?

But You were strong enough.

I'm falling on my knees; offering all of me.

Jesus, you're all this heart is living for.

Sometimes my heart hurts, sometimes I am jealous, sometimes I am sad, sometimes I don't know what to do, sometimes I am broken, sometimes I try harder than anyone notices, sometimes I wait a long time with no answer, sometimes I forget to listen, sometimes I forget what I stand for, sometimes I make decisions that I shouldn't, sometimes I reach too high, sometimes I lose hope, and sometimes I am scared; truly and honestly scared. 

I would never actually like to admit that. But this is my blogger in which no one ever reads. 

I'm scared. I'm scared about this summer going to Thailand and I'm scared about this fall attending Liberty University. I shouldn't worry- because God's plan for my life is going to be incredible. But, knowing that- I'm still afraid of being unsuccessful more than anything. 

I am eternally blessed, I have a father who loves me unconditionally, I am used by Christ, I am in love with Him, I have security in eternal life, I have a father who has overcome the world, I am never alone, when I am weak; my God is my strength, when I am strong; He makes me stronger, I serve the God who created the beginning and the end, He chooses to use a wretch like me, I am constantly growing in His love, my faith cannot be shattered, my hope lies in His truth, my heart belongs to Him, I have confidence that He will carry me through, He notices all the things that I do, He knows my sincerity, He reminds me to listen, when I break He puts me back together again-strong than before,  He has commanded me to be strong and courageous, truly and honestly strong and courageous.

I've realized, you can never truly see God's plan for your life when your eyes are filled with tears. To be fearful is ludicrous considering the fact that the only human to escape death, whose father created the very essence of my being, is on MY side.

...But I've got this whole, constant sick-to-my stomach feeling that doesn't want to leave me alone. So, prayer requests? Well, one that the 80+ support letters I sent out would be praying about supporting me-because there is a deadline soon and I will need 50% of the money for Thailand by then. Also, for me as I'm trying to spiritually and mentally prepare myself for the trip... And for discipline in my studies. I think that sums it up.

Thank you :o)

Because that's the way it is.

Sometimes I can be discouraged so easily.

I want to have faith, but it's slipping away from me no

matter how hard I try to hold on it seems. I have very

many decision to make, and tests to study for, & papers

to write- but there never seems to be enough time in

the world. WHYYYYYY must I have to blindly choose

what to do when it comes to this fall? Now, I know that's

not completely legit, I am earnestly praying for where God

would have me, but He hasn't replied. That leaves me feeling

scared and in the dark, even though I know he doesn't mean

for it to. 

I have so much reading to do, I've really let myself get behind.

No good, no good. Also, I woke up this morning with a sick bug...

and in a very awful mood. I'm feeling a bit better now, though-

thank you Lord. but wow, this blog SHOULD be labeled "How

many things can Aly complain about in 5 minutes." I truly am

sorry for to you if you're reading this, because it's out of

character. 

OK, bye.
