Cry out to Jesus

When I feel as if nothing is going right at all, when friends fail me, and it's hard to stand tall... I cry out to Jesus and He knows what to do.
When I don't get the play right in a sport, or my parents see I did bad in a subject on my report... When the news can only tell of the bad and when sometimes its so hard to be glad.. I cry out to Jesus and He knows how to answer.
When my brother annoys me just when I look at him and I don't know why. It could be because we don't at all see eye to eye, or when I'm overwhelmed with school work and have an attitude like a jerk.. I cry out to Jesus and He hears my plea.
When I'm exercising and eating healthy and the weight just doesn't seem to want to fall off, or I feel like I'm sick even if it's just a cough. Maybe when I put in so much to others and don't get in thing back.. Why? What do I lack? I cry out to Jesus and He will be there
When I'm hurting and no one sees it. When I'm sad or mad, it's legit. When I'm stressed out and feel like no one cares.. I cry out to Jesus and He is always there.
But also.. When I feel like being optimistic.. Which I try to be most of the time, I make up these little poems which one might call a rhyme. The Lord didn't forget to wake me up this morning which means I still have His work to do. He says "I'm not finished with you yet and I'm proud of you too." that helps me he reassured Andean knowing that He cares. He knows my every breath to the number of my head hairs. I must rely on Him or idk where I would be. It wouldn't be any place good, believe you me. I'm sorry for when I fail. I guess that's apart of fallen human sin. But I guess that was part of Your plan.. You said "I'm gonna take her in.."
So next time I'm feeling down, lonely, or upset. Show me the reason I've been put here on this earth for this time and I'll remember to give respect. Show me someone who cares enough to happen to text me at that time. And maybe I won't have to make up another rhyme.
Thanks

But What if You're Single and.... Happy?

Image
I've been sent a few reels over the last couple months talking about singleness and the different feelings around it. One said that people will talk about 4 major relationship categories,  1. Married and happy 2. Married and unhappy 3. Single and happy 4. Single and unhappy And how one of the categories is talked about the least... can you guess which one?  It's #3: Single and Happy.  I've not done the research, so maybe that discounts all of what I'm saying or about to say, but as someone who routinely checkmarks the single box, my life and experiences are the research. Why is it that so few people talk about what it looks like to be single and happy? In my observation, it's because there often is one goal and one goal alone to strive for: "get married, have kids". And if those things are not happening then how could one possibly be fulfilled, whole, happy, or thriving? A good question.  But what if I told you there was something else? That single people ...

Awaiting the Holy Night - Mary's Perspective

Image
I wrote this post back in December 18, 2022 and never published it but with Christmas around the corner and joining my family in reading a chapter of Luke a day to celebrated Advent, I decided to circle back around to it. I know it may be taboo to read into how a Biblical character might have felt or what they might have thought, but adding personification to the people that we read so much about felt like an exciting venture. And besides that, The Chosen TV series came out around that time and it brought so many characters to life... giving them thoughts, feelings, and emotions so I felt that maybe I was in the clear (I mean, now anytime I read Jesus's words in Scripture, I hear Jonathan Roumie's voice). Below is my mind's rendering of how I imagined Mary (and Joseph) felt and what they might have thought the days leading up to and the night of Christ's birth.  --- What do you mean, I'm pregnant? Pregnant... at 15... with the coming Messiah?! I can't show my a...

Grief - It's Okay

Image
Grief. How does someone wrestle with the wounds it leaves?  It's a fog that covers a valley. It's a g-force against our lungs like we're on one of those carnival rides that spins so fast, you're pinned to a wall. It's a cloud that specifically rains on you when everything and everyone else is basking in sunshine. It's a numbness that can feel like an emotional void. And like a spinning record, it plays over and over again. Grief comes in all shapes and sizes from all sorts of occasions. There could be a seasonal grief due to weather changes and the days getting darker earlier after sunshine and late nights and warmth kissed you all summer. There's the grief of change: you move, you start a job / job ends, a bad grade occurs, your body isn't doing things the way it used to, and injury changes the course of what you thought life would look like. Then there's the relational grief. This is the one that surrounds you when you lose a relationship, when the...
