A busy life

Ya know, I'm usually really busy. During the week, I can't even make time to relax. But then things slow down, and I don't know how to handle it. Life slows down, and I'm all by myself. Friday night as a bunch of my other friends that I actually rely on are hanging out without me. I dunno, it's not always like this, and their not always like that....but today they are, and it really sucks. It just feels crapy. I'm one of those people who has really high highs, and really low lows. And this week, has just felt like some low lows. I tell ya, you will lose friends when you stick up for God, and when you change in order to imitate Him. And it's really hard to rejoice, and be happy like it says in the bible, cuz right now it only hurts. Ya know...but that's life, and I'll be fine. Tomorrow things will speed up again, and things will go back to normal..I guess. One of my now favorite bible verses from last weeks bible study is James 1:12 "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." Another one to keep in mind is 2 Timothy2:15 "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." We all know the word of truth, yet we still have things in our lives that don't honor God. Even if they aren't things that you do, cuz whatever you put in your heart comes out through your actions. Imagine Jesus watching you all the time, like He's right there in the room. Is there anything your ashamed about? As believers we need to get rid of those things in our lives, cuz when we do, God can use us to the best of His ability, which is really good, and really worth it. I didn't mean to get all preachy in this blog, but it's something God is doing in me right now, in my life. And it's hard, and some obstacles are bigger then others, but we can do it. This pep talk is just as much for me, as it is for everyone. Keep it in mind as you are at home, school, work, anywhere. And all God's people did say AMEN!
