How Can I trust Anyone?

     Life has been so crazy recently. Sometimes being a girl is tough work! Girls like to go around spreading things about other people and making up stuff and tellin lies. It's so annoying and heartbreaking.
     Little insider on me, I cannot lie. It's not possible for me to do so unless it's for someone's protection. Can't tell a lie about someone else, if I'm asked about something then I'm probably gonna tell what I know.
     Well, recently, my trust has just been broken and shattered and burned and pulverized and stabbed and I don't know what to do about that. I feel like the woman in the newest "Jason Bourne" movie when all her co-workers get shot and being traumatized from that and then those people come to her house telling her that they are there to help and they end up trying to kill her. She can trust NO ONE. I feel the same way. I don't know who is going to tell me thr truth anymore. So many people are habitual liars and good at it.
     I feel as though I have to be very on edge with everyone. I can't let myself get too close anymore because I don't know when my thoughts and feelings that I let out to one person will be let out to 3, 4, 5...20 more!
    Mainly teens, but those are the people I have to grow up with and will still be in the same generation of when we grow up. The adults that influence my life and that I'm able to talk to won't be around forever...
    I am relying on You, God. You have a point and reason in all of this and I am trying to lean on You and not think about anything that's going on. But so far, I have no person my age that I can place my trust in. And even college kids, I'm tentative to place my trust in some of them because they're dealin with their own garbage as well.
     I want to be able to trust someone, but no one has proved that yet. Help, Lord.

For His Glory

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...
