I’ve decided to quit Tumblr (and most likely Facebook) for a month and dedicate the time I spend on here with God. Just so you all know. Please be praying for me as I seek Him.
A Beautiful Mess
“You are strong but you’re needy,
Humble but you’re greedy And based on your body language, And shoddy cursive I’ve been reading Your style is quite selective, though your mind is rather reckless Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is Hey, what a beautiful mess this is

I am EXHAUSTED But I gotta keep going.
Basically…I’m a big-time people pleaser. And it is killing me. I can’t keep doing this to myself, it wears me out. The Bible says that I can’t serve both man and God at the same time.
I’m considering getting a job…but I don’t know if I could handle it, quite frankly. And I hate to admit that because it makes me feel...
My ankles hurt from jogging.
My ceramics instructor bought us all egg rolls today and literally demanded that we eat them. “Sarah, stop working at the wheel and come eat.” They were good! One of the kids in class works there and gets so fiery about chineese food, whenever the topic arises. OH! And don’t get him started on Panda Express, mah goodness. Melissa tried an eggroll for...

I feel so much better it’s astounding. It’s seriously like night and day…it honestly makes me feel a little bit crazy, haha. How can I go from suicidal to carefree like this? I wasn’t like this before…so strange. But I’m glad God lifted it from me again. And it all came from speaking up for myself. Odd.
Good day today: I had class, then I came home and cleaned...

Don't speak
Don’t tell anyone. They don’t want to hear and it’s selfish of you to want to talk about yourself all the time. Be quiet. Stay quiet you needy selfish thing. If people saw this part of you, they’d be repulsed. They’d leave and you’d be alone.
That’s what I hear.
I feel like all I do lately is cry. But I’m so overwhelmed…I’m at my breaking point, truly. I’ve been looking at these unhealthy examples and thinking unhealthy thoughts. Desiring blood to mix with tears. It’s not right. I can’t do this anymore. Something’s got to give. God, I give you control. Wherever You want me to go, lead me and I’ll follow. I...
†: Relationships →
nonelikejesus:
Every relationship you have should have purpose. Either they are helping you get closer to God or you are helping them get closer to God. You should ask yourself; Am I being productive with this person? In this relationship? Am I moving forward or backward? Am I becoming a better person? Are they…

I’ve been jogging and exercising to help me with my emotions lately. It’s amazingly helpful, and has helped me sleep better, too. Except for today. I ran, played Ultimate, soccer AND volleyball, and I’m still so down. I think my personal demon is back. Also…saw an old friend and got the cold shoulder. Who knew that could hurt so bad. I know I apologized before, but I...
I wish I had a house full of anthropology kitchen ware and beauty. Why are you sooo expensive? Also, watching ‘manish’ comedies….dear me. Why are they so funny to me?
Didn’t go to The Vow, just hung out and talked and cried (I’ve been doing that a lot lately) and discussed spiritual warfare. Satan is coming at me, yo. I will throw him and his cronies down.
PS
applying to go to Africa
Today
Will be good. I declare it, and thus it shall be :)
I haven’t written a lot of my heart into this blog. But I want to. So, I will. Basically I’ma make invitations, hang out with the bestie, go see THE VOW (be jealous) with some of my closest friends, and then dinner and possibly dancing at Tom Ryan’s.
Sounds fun. :) And yet, at the same time…I feel weak. I don’t...
