Thanks for all the comments peeps! God be glorified in this situation.

Carissa, don’t beat yourself up about it. I haven’t really told anyone. I haven’t really been able to because of the unresolved spiritual stuff. To be honest, this post was my way of giving it up. and if someone had been there all along, I might not have had a revelation. and that would be no good at all. God has a plan and a purpose no matter what. It doesn’t matter if you’re here or not, I have God. It’s nice to have a shoulder to cry on, but God will always be there, so don’t ever think that I’m resentful that people were there or feel bad that you weren’t around, cuz I have what I need. Friends are the toppings on the ice cream. But thanks for caring, I love you ^_^

heyy. I’m sorry I haven’t really been talking to you a lot lately, I didn’t realize all this stuff was going on… I’m praying for you k? and I AM here for you if you ever need someone to talk to. That song meant a lot to me too lately. It’s an AMAZING reminder that Christ is the rock. Christ is everything we stand for, hope in.

Jesus does indeed command your destiny. – and John’s. You are held in the palm of His hand and nothing can snatch you from Him. We’ll continue to pray about the wrists and believe that God’s purposes for you will be fulfilled.

Grace, I understand a small part of what you are dealing with. I know what it is to feel completely alone. It isn’t fun, it hurts like heck – but if we allow those times to drive us into Jesus’ everlasting arms, it can create a strength in us that we can’t fake. And not a strength of putting up walls and hiding from the world, faking strength and “pretending to be strong” – but honest strength.
I love you, kiddo. I’m here if you need anything.
I love that song! “And as He stands in victory sin’s curse has lost its grip on me. For I am His and He is mine. Bought with the precious blood of Christ!”

Yowsers. A lot of tough stuff going on.

Ben gave such wonderful advice–binge on Jesus. That’s certainly been my source of comfort through my own difficult days (weeks, months). It’s hard to trust that God is sovereign and that He is good when life seems to be spinning out of control–but let the circumstances draw you closer to Him (even if initially the drawing closer is just asking “God, why?”) rather than driving you away.
