It has been awhile since I actually posted a post. I get all these drafts about something and never seem to finish them! I will make sure this one gets posted! I think tonight I got the BEST answer from some one who is pretty 'near and dear' to me!
I talked to my friend who is like a mother to me! I love her like a mother! She is such a wonderful, godly woman! We had youth group tonight but instead we had a youth rally. Which is when we get the youth groups around our area to come to our school or theirs. Tonight we had it at my school. We sang some songs, heard a testimony and hear a message from my youth pastor. After wards I got up and I ran in to my friend. I gave her a HUGE hug like I always do. (she is the one who lost her son 9 months ago) She is for sure one of the most loving and caring person I know!
I started to talk to her about how I haven't been doing so well lately. Feeling very depressed and was trying to figure out why. Stressed with family issues and home. After a few mins of explaining, she tells me I don't know what to tell you. I told her you don't need to tell me anything! Finally she told me to "Keep Looking Up" <3
After I heard her say that my mind just started spinning! I always am looking down or around me for something. For Help or Advice or Encouragement. I have been talking to God more and more lately and my heart has been with him more. I realized that I need to keep looking up even MORE then i am now! He has COMPLETE control over everything!
Our God is Amazing! :)
Thank you for those words, Terri! <3
I love you Casey! Praising God that He spoke those words through me that night, because I felt like I had failed you. I knew your pain, because I feel it too, and I knew I couldn't fix it. I just wanted to bring you home forever and really be your mom. Keep looking up to Jesus~ He will never fail you. Trust Him for where He has you~ for everything He is doing. Let Him grow you closer to Him through the hard stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures on your header are beautiful~ I love seeing you smile:))) Terri aka Mom
I am so disappointed in myself. I had posted my comment back and then I went and deleted all my comments I HAVE written!!! Whoops!
ReplyDeleteI love you to Terri! :) That Night you didn't fail me your answer was perfect! It was the best answer I could have gotten! If anyone else would have gave me an answer it would have been different and I knew that ur answer was the best one because it made me really think and it made me go to God that night and just pray and ask for help because I couldn't do it on my own I needed him and always do need him! He is the one who can give me strength!!
And Really be my mom? Your close enough to it! :)
Thank you! the header I made one on a day I was really struggling and the pictures just came out quite well!! :)
