Trust God

When your life gets turned upside down and people fail you and hurt you. There is only one thing you can cling to and thats God. He will not leave me even when things seem to fall apart He is there. He is there waiting for me to call out to Him that I need Him. Its hard to trust Him when you don't trust most people but He gave me a way to trust Him.
"There is hope for the helpless rest for the weary love for the broken heart there is grace and forgiveness mercy and healing He'll meet you wherever you are Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus" Cry Out To Jesus: Third Day

We live supperchick

We live we love, We forgive and never give up, Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above, So today we remember to live and to love." We Live: Supperchick
I think those lyrics fits me a lot. Because when things get tough more than likely I will still push on and not give up because I don't want to quit. When I feel like blah I have to remember that the day will end and tomorrow will be a new day. So I should make the most of today and live for today and not worry about what my future holds.

November 05 awesome stuff

Psalm 34:18 ("If your heart is broken, you'll find God right there; if you're kicked in the gut, He'll help you catch your breath."
"You say come, all who a weary, You say come, every exhausted soul, And I will give you rest, Come, all who are hurting, You say come, all you who are broken and bruised, And I will give you rest." You Say Come: Josh Bates

Isn't amazzing to know that when your at your weakest moment and are not happy God is right there waiting for you. He will pick you up when you fall and will carry your troubles on His cross. So even when feel like Hes not there He is He wants us to call out to Him so He can rescue us from our troubles and our fears. Isn't it awesome that He will give us rest when we are hurting and are broken.

Blog from 05

Ok so I read this book yesterday and it talked about ADD and ADHD which I have. And they talked about not having parents and teachers and friends telling us when we our younger that they are proud of us. Then they expect us to be good and do good in school and yet we don't get complements. Just a simple I'm proud of you can change how I feel. You see in my mind since I've had to deal with this for like 17 years I don't know how to act in certain situations and people expect you to act all proper and stuff but when u struggle with ADHD and ADD its very hard to act civil. Well thats because the schools do not teach us how to act. So we act out and misbehave we call out in class with out knowing it and we cann't help it. Its also tough because you struggle to keep friends and you have to fight through everyday just to make it. And when schools out the fight isn't over it goes on at your house with your parents yelling at you to clean your room and do your homework and to stop acting like a fool. The Fight is also in your head to you fight the voices of peers and there own thoughts and self talk. You see it would be nice if people could understand what its like to live in the mind of person with ADD and ADHD. Its tough because each day is a struggle to get things done and stay focused on what the task is at hand. And some people look at you funny because you stare and you take your time. You see we need order and we need to know whats going on when so we can prepare ourselves for it.

Who knew

Who knew that about 3 years ago I was drinking heavally and would end up quiting drinking cause of the people praying for me and my sobriety to this day I have three years. Praise God. But thats not why Im writting this. Im writting this cause of 4 special people Karen Kimberly Jimi and Phillip. 4 memembers of LBT. There song Bring it on Home got me hooked especially since I was away at summer school since I had to make up the grades for two classes I failed. Walking home from class Id blast that song and it got me through those long sober nights when i would get glimps of the past. Who knew that the fix I want now is another lbt moment and concert. Those moments come and go but those moments are moments that God gave me so He could get me thinking straight. Those moments I will never forget.

unknown rant about finding work being ADD

My bigest fear to start looking for a job now is being verbally abused by coworkers or a boss. Its not an easy thing to move on from. I try not to let it get to me but I can only fake the smile and pretend for so long before I break. I need to begin to let God help me to let go of the things that happened to me at my job. I know what people are gonna say its not your fault and just let go but its complicated. I need to stop wanting to fix it myself but that's all part of an ADD person if you screw up you want to make it right yourself. And if you can't get it right you feel miserable and think your worthless and don't deserve anything at all. Growing up with ADHD I had to make sure things were in order and if I screwed up Id get blamed for it and then feel awful. When your a girl and your different from all the other kids it really does have an affect on you. Trusting people and God is a big problem for me. Because if you were hurt by the people who you thought were your friends not Kim but others then its kind of hard to trust God. Ya but Hes always there waiting for me to come to my senses. People also tell me to be a victor not a victim I'm trying not to be a victim. When you need to feel loved and accepted t sometimes never come by your parents. So when your around people who have that love and accept you you want to hold onto it because it feels safe. And that feeling only last for a little while then you go back to the way things were and that's not so safe. Being around Karen Jimi Kimberly and Phillip make you feel loved, safe and accepted. If you don't feel loved at home or have love for yourself how are you supposed to feel Gods love.Its hard to rely totally on Him when you had to rely on yourself for so long. But I won't give up because I'm not a quitter.

She would end up giving her life to God the day she graduated from college. She also ended a long battle with alcohol and has been sober ever since.
