It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted anything on the website.  I don’t even know if anyone reads these or will read this.  But, if anyone does see this, I hope it encourages you and/or helps you with anything you are struggling with in your life.

Over the past couple of months, I have just given up.  Given up on God, myself, and the idea that I can do anything.  But, tonight all that changed.  I decided to stop giving up.  God made me for a reason—to do something with my life.  If I just give up and die, what good am I doing?  I’m not benefiting anything or anyone. I’ve told myself, “Fight for this.” So, here I am, with God’s help, I am going to fight for myself, for my sanity, my desire for God, my purity, my pursuit, my family, my life, my youth group, my friends…  I’m sick of being tired, so sick and tired—tired of feeling defeated with everything I do.  So, I’m beginning to try and not do anything on my own, but try and do it through God, because with Him, anything is possible.

So, I guess what I’m trying to say is, don’t settle for being defeated.  That is exactly what Satan wants, because once we are defeated, we are useless bodies in the Kingdom.  But, if we decide to be conquerors through Christ Jesus, only then we can truly be effective in making a difference in this world around us.
