Anonymous asked: I just found out that my friend cuts herself. She's the only friend I have in church and I don't know what to do. She doesn't know that I know it, but I saw the scars on her arms. I want to help her so badly.

Lord, I lay it all at Your feet. what’s out of my control is completely in Yours.
"My heart will sing no other name, Jesus"
graciouslysaved:
Well, I don’t know about y’all, but this isn’t true for me. My heart sings a lot of other names. Temptation is lurking everywhere. We must rest in Truth and turn to Him in times of temptation.
I can’t wait until the day my heart sings no other names.
Oh, that Christ would return!

I’ve prayed for Your presence continually… and You remain silent. The overwhelming joy and peace I felt when I completely trusted in You changed my heart. Yet it reduced itself to a memory my societally-shaped mind frame convinces me was mere psychological smoke and mirrors. I seek You fervently… and You remain silent. Everything in me longs for more of You… For the peace...

things to do to keep your mind off crap..
a little while ago, God brought my entire life to a halt and has been working on many areas of my life, specifically my mind. I’ve come to a point where I’m in the process of LITERALLY changing everything I think on a daily basis; garbage in… garbage out. it’s scarily accurate. so, as I work to refocus myself on God and pure, simple thoughts and an anxiety-free mind, I...

a lovely officer...
last night I had to take a trip to the hospital to run some tests.. just to be safe since I was feeling rather awful..
while I was there, I was sat on a stretcher because there were no rooms available.
a lady was brought in who was clearly on some form of drug and was very rowdy, put in cuffs and kept in a special room right near me.
as she continually cursed everyone out, yelled and screamed...
