| | Hey everyone...I know its been an EXTREMELY long time since I've last blogged...but I just stumbled upon this site again and remembered how useful is is to have a place to get things out of my heart and head. So I guess I'll just start by telling some things that I've been struggling with and how much I've learned from it. I don't know how long things were this bad between me and God...but I know it was for a while...and I'm not even sure why it happened...but it did. I think I was just sort of accustomed to the fact that God loved me and died for me and had forgiven me...but I felt like I was trapped inside of a snow globe with no way to escape and I could only watch what was happening...I couldn't do anything about it. I was emotionless when it came to God. I hadn't opened my bible in I don't know how long...but it had been quite a while. Then something just sort of snapped in my life...and I woke up, I saw the person I had become without God and it wasn't pretty at all...I hated it. And I knew I needed to change...so that night...I was really bummed...and I felt pretty much lower than dirt...but then God sent a friend to help open my eyes...and realize how much God has given me and how he had forgiven me....and so I then went to my room and opened my bible...and I started reading in Romans....and everything I started to read...was so personal to me...everything I was reading was applying to my own life...and I needed to hear it so much...God made himself known to me...and I cried and prayed...and i felt a peace that I hadn't felt in quite a long amount of time...i just felt so alive in Him. So if you're reading this...and you feel like you're in the same boat as I was in...don't keep shutting Him out...believe me...things won't get easier....God is the only one who can keep you from falling and who will love you unconditionally without fail...don't trust in anyone else but Him, because in the end humans will always fail each other, we're sinners...we can't even begin to try and do things the right way....because we're not perfect. Only He is... I know that I made the excuse..."I don't have time for God, let alone any time for myself." but...it's worth it....God is worth it...so take time right now to go and fill your mind and soul with God's word....mend the relationship...don't wait a minute longer. God is waiting...with open arms.
In Him,
~Shelby~
btw...if anyone needs a friend to talk to...I'm always here...
