prayer
So do you ever feel like God has forgotten you? Like you pray and pray and pray and it seems like its all for nothing? Like the biggest, most important things , the prayers you want answered the most never get answered? Like the things that mean the most to you, the things you really want, God could care less about? Thats how I've been feeling. Earlier in the summer, I came so close to getting something I've wanted for as long as I can remember. It was something I wished for every birthday for years ( well, except when I was really little and wished that I would turn into a mermaid. That was totally lame! ) I came SO,SO close and then as soon as it came, it vanished, was taken away in the blink of an eye. I am confused and keep asking why it all happend like this. I'm still confused and angery and frustrated. Like why didn't I do things differently? I feel like I wasn't worth the risk. At youth group on Wednesday, we talked about failure. Sometimes I feel like God failed me or that I've failed God. Like maybe He's mad at me. I guess I'm one of those " Oh, ye of little faith" type people.
O.k. people. On a much lighter note. Woody, my sis and I went to see The Devil Wears Prada last night. It was so good. Anne Hathaway is so different than when she was in Princess Diaries. We all came out of the theatre saying, " Man! We dress like bums! " All those designer clothes they wear and my nice clothes are so cheap. Oh well.
Oh, so about the football game last week. My brother went in and saved us seats while my sister and I waited for our friends. When we went in, I was the first one to go into the row, I ended up sitting RIGHT next to this cute Senior. The very kid my sister has a crush on. We were sitting so close our shoulders were crossed. I was practically on this guys lap!! My sister was alittle jealous. Then there were all these other kids sitting around us and they were shoving and stuff. I had a couple of guys fall back onto my legs. Yeah, weird. Then these other guys were kicking our rear-ends when they were shoving. Yeah, also weird. Well I guess I should end this post. Bye Ya'll!!!

Everything works out to the good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. Don't lose faith. WE can't see what he is up to but it would make a ton of sense if we could.
Oh thanks you guys! I've heard all this stuff before and I keep reminding myself of it but its SO hard!
Yes. Sometimes I feel that God has forgotten me or I am reminded how unworthy I am of his attention.
Recently I read Psalm 13 and was really encouraged by it. I recommend that you read it too.
As for designer clothes and dressing like bums, don't fall for the superficiality of the fashion industry. Real people (including real guys) don't require you to look like a Teen Vogue model to recognize your worth. If anything the layers of makeup and overpriced styling hide your real self and make girls look plastic and fake. It's very unattractive.
THANK YOU SO MUCH Rabenstranger!!! I really appreciate a guys point of view. Psalm 13 was very encouraging. Thanx. I'm not really into expensive partly because my minimum wage paychecks won't allow for it and also because I'm afraid I might get mugged if I go out with a Prada bag or something. You know, I really don't know why girls wear tons of make up. They look "made up ". I will admit I wear some but nowhere near as much as some people. And even then my brother asks what all the "crap" is on my face. But I sometimes still feel like I need to be prettier or dress better for people to like me. Life can be so hard sometimes:)
Hey, Tamoosh the whole forgeten that you're going through with God, is the same thing that I went through this past summer... or really this past few years...
Anyway, I think it was James chapter 1 which is really good... (read all of james like 16 times)
Anyway, it talks all about tests and trials, which we go through in order to make us strong with God and over all better people.
And the whole thing about the make up, guys already think that girls are the most fantastical things every, so you don't have to cover that up and hide who you really are!
Anyway, hang in there I'm pulling for you!
P.S Awesome blog!!
I heard that the Devil Wears Prada was pretty good. I started listening to the book on CD but it was awful... Full of immoral stuff.
I'm really liking the guys point of view on this. Actually everybody has been so encouraging. Thank you!!
I didn't know The Devil Wears Prada was a book. Some things in the movie were alittle superficial and I didn't like the fact that Anne Hathaway lived with her boyfriend but it still was a pretty good chick-flick:)
Look who randomly came upon your blog..........hi
Neat blog!
