Dear Jesus,

Thanks for today, and all the blessings you’ve given me. I know that I’m truly blessed—i see it every day, and I know that there are so many others out there who have it so much worse than I do. 

But I’m having a hard time, and I need you so much. I know. I know because I’ve seen it and felt it and understood it time and time again that I am weak, and You are strong. “You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains.” Please don’t leave me when I need you so much right now. I’m having such a difficult time coping with everything.

I’m unbelievably stressed out with school. I never realized how hard it all would be, and I’m trying so hard to get it all done and I’m still not doing well enough. Please help me to focus better when I study, have the creativity and logic necessary to write my papers, and to have the discipline to work harder. I can’t find these things on my own, and I need you so much.

Lord, if it is your will, hopefully there is a man out there for me. But I’ve had bad luck with boys recently, and I’m losing hope and faith. Please, Lord. Bring me the right guy, and give me the wisdom to know the difference. Perhaps I’d feel better if I had more meaningful, fulfilling relationships here. If there are people out there with whom I could have loving, affirming, fulfilling friendships, please let us find each other. Please bring godly women into my life so that I can grow as a person, and as a Christian.

I get stressed out when I’m with my non-Christian friends, and the subject of You comes up, and they just don’t understand. Please help me to communicate with them in a way that will make you proud, but also so that they’ll understand who you are and that you are real and how much You’ve done for us. I love you so much, Lord. If there was another alternative, another reality, I wouldn’t want it. I wouldn’t want to live in a world where you didn’t exist. 

Lastly, please forgive me of my sins, when I mess up. I know it happens a lot, but I’m working to be a better person. I love you Lord. Amen.

This blog is a personal one. At times, I’m sure it’ll be used as my diary. I hope I can share a little bit about what I believe and why through these posts.

While I enjoy posting on my main tumblr, I feel like something’s missing. I guess I could say that my main blog is something like a journal. I post my thoughts, feelings, anything I feel like no matter what my emotion is. Well, when I used to actually write in a journal, I’d supplement that with a prayer journal. It allowed me to organize my thoughts, and spend time with God without getting distracted or whatever. So hopefully I can mimic that here as well.

To sum up what this blog will be about: I’m a Christian, follower of Jesus Christ, who died on the cross as a living sacrifice for my mistakes and others, and who then rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to be with God the Father Almighty. God made the heavens and the earth, and all honor and glory is forever HIS. Not mine. God sent his Holy Spirit to dwell among the people on earth, and one day, I will live with God forever in heaven. Christ will eventually come back to earth, throw out sorrow, greed, hurt, pain, death, finally destroy Satan, the Evil One, and make a NEW heavens and a NEW earth, where His people will live forever. Sound like a dream? It’s not. This is real, and this is my life.
