Proverbs 27:12
-Matt
Get drunk and have a wild time with friends, in the hope of forgetting your problems for at least a short while. Unless the thing destroying you is alcohol. Then you should do what Matt said.
A little piece of advice:
Never, ever, take my advice.
Nice, Tristan.
I tend to stick with it until the last second before it actually kills me, then take off running.
Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel right about now. But sometimes it's good to run. Sometimes it's smart to run.
(Hi. I'm Aaron.)
Your post, of course, is about some boy you are falling madly in love with.
You don't want to fall for him, but you can't let go.
Of course, I hope love doesn't destroy you... Unless you think you don't need love.
So bat those eyelashes and swing those hips!
haha who are you Anonymous? that was clever...unfortunately you may be a little off...

Sometimes we cling so tightly to different things that God can't give us the blessings he so deeply desires us to have. He longs to put a gift thats beyond our comprehension into our hand, but a closed hand cannot take that gift. I'm praying for you, Steph. Don't walk alone, there are far to many people who care about you to do that.
"Don't walk alone, there are far too many people who care about you to do that."
tyler's a smart guy. there are far too many people who care about you for you to walk alone. i love you steph!
a couple years ago, i was having a lot of trouble giving up something that i needed to let go of, and i couldn't figure out how to. i wanted to so, so bad, but yet i secretly didn't want to. i wanted to cling on to the pain and ache it brought me. i kept praying to God that He would help me give it up to Him. and i felt He wasn't answering me. but i came to an understanding that God won't just take it away from me... i had to choose. so one day i told Him that it was His. but i knew giving it up once wasn't good enough. i knew it would come back. so i told God that He had to help me keep giving it up daily to Him. and i told someone else too - it felt good to tell someone, to have that accountability. when i told my friend, she told me that my decision made her think of the story in mark 14 when the woman pours perfume on Jesus' head, and He says "She has done a beautiful thing to me." Giving things up to God is like pouring expensive perfume over His head. it is a beautiful thing.
anyways, i just want to encourage you and let you know that you aren't alone. take care my dear
(i'll see you on sunday - perhaps)
i agree with matt, about dropping to ur knees and giving it up to the big guy upstairs.
I think i know what you're talking about ... and pray .. and never quit.. and take "baby steps" And Talk about it to people you trust, which may be only a couple, Just know that people care about you, and will be willing to help as much as they can. Realize, God doesn't make mistakes.
Steph, I hope you get well soon! I'm always here if you need to talk or just have a goofy laugh with :)
