Do you ever feel as though you suck at life? What do you do about it when it happens?
I'm not usually all that vulnerable on this thing, cause seriously, do you all really need to know everything??? However, I've read through some younger friends blogs recently and they were willing to share things which made me wonder why I can't do it.
So today(well...not particularly today, but recent life)I feel as though I suck at life. It just doesn't go the way you planned. Its never easy to find a job, there is and never will be enough money, friends and family can disappoint you(and vice versa), and you can spend days upon days(if you so choose)mulling it over in your head, not sleeping well and bringing added stress to your own life.
Its so easy to mull and be sad, feeling depressed, allowing thoughts or conversations from the day keep you up at night, feeling bitter or angry and inevitably taking things out on the people around. When it should be so easy to really give it all over to the Lord.
So easy my ass!
Just when you thought it would be easy and you can actually give things up to the Lord, the enemy comes in and brings feelings of worthlessness and despair.
Today I'm choosing not to give into the despair. I am choosing to live a life worthy of my calling. Its going to keep meaning that people are against me and don't agree with what I say or do.
Its time to give it all over...again.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11: 28-30

I feel sometimes I suck at life too. My dad annoys me enough to get a job when I just want to finish school. It'd be nice to have one, but thats too much on my load right now. I'm taking up a Barista course and getting paid to learn. So pray for me that I get accepted. Then I can make everyone starbucks!! :D Love you
Your words are encouraging as we seem to have had a similar week. My theory is that it has something to do with the consumption of turkey. If we stopped eating turkey over thanksgiving and christmas, maybe we could eradicate self wallow and depression.
Just a thought:)
Blessing!
You rock. that's the truth sis... you are living your life in a 'counter culture' attack on the spirit of this world.
You are making a huge difference.'
You are doing things that matter - forever.
You are loved by God.
I could go on and on... but those are all true sis.
And I'm proud to have you fighting alongside of me.
Grace.

Hey, just a note to say hi and I'm thinking of you.
Satan wouldn't attack you if you weren't bothering him.
Keep on doing damage for the Kingdom of God...sometimes you win, sometimes you fall into temptation; always Christ is by your side.
Keep your chin up, girl! You're terrific!
Luv ya!

Hey Denise,
What a great blog. For me sometimes I looks at my life and think man do I suck at this but then I start to remember that God is there for me. So when I feel like life sucks then I look to God to help through this because he has made my life. Evereything I am doing is for him.
Love you lots don't forget that.
hey denise,
i dont think u suck at life, but thats just my opinion.
you are such an amazing friend and an awesome role model. u r def one of my closest phase 2 friends i have here. and u truly are such an inspiration, just by walking in the opposite spirit. its like punching the devil in the guts and saying 'get out of my life'... the devil can be a bit retarded but keeping fighting!
i luv u lots!!!
