so in awe

so today after school i went home and collapsed on my bed and bawled my eyes out...for a good 2omins or so...stuck on some worship music, and then texted a good friend for some prayer.

i started journaling and as soon as i wrote "i feel like im carrying the weight of the world and im all alone" God gave me two verses:

Matthew 11:29-30 which in verse 30 says "for my yoke is easy and my burden is light"

Hebrews 13:5 "never will i leave you, never will i forsake you"

and it wasnt like i wrote that in my journal and then waited on God for hours, before i had even finished writing my thought God gave me the verses! He's so awesome :D

my good friend texted me back and told me to breath and encouraged me to sit quietly for a few mins so i did (at this time i still had a worship cd on) i felt God say "turn to the radio, its your favorite song" so i did, and it was!!! it was Grace Like Rain!!! its one of my ultimate favorites!! God is so good!!

I'm so thankful that in my lowest moments, my greatest times of stress and sadness, God is there! tonight, He showed Himself in a very clear, and powerful way!! Thank you Jesus!!!

she never chose this

this is a song i wrote recently about sex-trafficking...i have no chords yet, somewhat of a melody forming, and i got the lyrics; here they are:

verse 1
she sits alone in the corner, quiet and ashamed
head hung low, allowing herself to be blamed
she cried so much the tears no longer come
she feels worthless, less than scum
wont someone save her from this misery?

chorus
call forth a generation to stand in the gap
allow something within us to snap
rise up an anger in us
of righteousness and justice
rise up a generation
of mighty warriors to go and fight this battle

verse 2
she's broken, battered and bruised
she feels left out, abandoned, and used
she cries out in the middle of the night
all she does is pray for daylight
wont someone save her from this misery?

bridge
with each man goes a piece of her
with each man her self-esteem deters
with each man she feels worthless
you can try and blame her, but she never chose this
