I'm a 17 year old girl trying to figure some things out about life. I just had brain surgery and a few weeks after that had to deal with some pretty world rocking things one of my best friends told me. Now I am attempting to figure out what to do. I am really trying to make my relationship with God afresh and anew. The last few years have been hard to keep faith during, but some how by the grace of God I made it, and oddly enough I find it harder even though the storm is over.
I know what you mean. I was reading why it is or seems so hard to follow the word of God recently and whoever wrote it said we think because were walking with Him things should be easier but its just the opposite. I have been through some really tough stuff and God was waiting for me. I struggle every day, even though in the Spirit, (sometimes not all the time). God pushes us to our limits over and over again which i'm realizing builds character and/or so I'm told. As a man I think its even harder, specially one who lives at home with very few friends. But God loves us and Im finding that I need to rely on Him more and more because He is the one who is strong even though our circumstances aren't ideal, to us, as we see it but its important to keep moving, going places you've never been before and when you feel the time is right, saying hi and/or smiling to that stranger because thats how the light gets in. God loves broken things and even though your not feeling like your in your ideal place, He is moving you closer and calling you closer, even though I don't know why He would love someone like me. I am a very new reborn and I know how much it hurts, but we have to trust in Him and focus on the beauty of life and be thankful for His love.
