Current Struggles

I always try to be as transparent as possible and let people know how I feel about something, or what I think about situations, so here is me being me! Currently I'm a little stressed! Not that I can't handle what's on my plate, but just feels like a lot right now. I know I'll make it and do great, 'cuz God won't put me in a situation he won't take me through!

My biggest struggle currently is figuring out who I really am, which I'm finding more and more about the real me everyday. I don't know if it all makes sense, but I don't always feel like I know me, and it's quite frustrating. I want to be consistent and be the person God wants me to be. I don't want to be the things that frustrate me in others, but don't want that to define me either.

This is a really random and bad post. I don't really understand all of this right now either, but this is what is on my mind.

Thankful for the Rain

Today was a storm! It rained for the most of the day, and I ran in it tonight. During the run I was thinking about the past week or so, and how rough it has been. It has been the hardest week of Masters so far. A lot has been going on, and it has hit me hard. I have complained, and struggled, and well not given my best through it all. During the run I remembered the song Frontline sings about being thankful for the rain, and struggles we go through. I realize that this rough patch is only going to build me up bigger than ever before. I realize that I am only going through this because something big is coming, and I need to be prepared for it. I realize that the storm will keep coming, but my perspective needs to be fixed, and I will succeed and thrive bigger than before. Are you going through a tough time? Are you feeling sorry for yourself like me? I challenge you to lift it up to God, and choose to have a better attitude about what is going on!

Me, Myself, and I AM



I have recently been going through a new book called me myself & I AM. It is a recently released book of questions. I call it a journal book. It has a bunch of questions that help you realize who you are, and who God is to you, and to grow your relationship with him by asking questions you may not normally think about. Also, this book is a great conversation starter, as you can pick it up and flip it to any page and ask a question to the people around you. I haven't exactly done that, but am planning on leaving the book sit out on my coffee table to be a conversation starter with my roommates. I think this book is great, and highly recommend you check it out. It can be purchased at any of the following online book stores:
Amazon
Christian Book
Family Christian
