Vintage Verses: November 2012

From a bathroom stall #3

{For God so loved the world that he gave his ONLY begotten son and WHOEVER believes in him shall have ETERNAL life} - John 3:16

I want to be held, talked to and laughed with. I want to be with you. I want you to know that I am here for you, forever and always. Why can't you see how much I care? I listen and hear your pain. I will never leave you when you are in trouble. I may not always know what to say, but my heart and mind are yearning for words to comfort you. It doesn't mean I don't care. I want you to want me. Why can't you see...it's you darling...you.

Chilly

From a bathroom stall #2

{I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.} - John 16:33

Here is a little midweek update! I wanted to apologize for the last post...I went on a little rampage. However, that's exactly how I've been feeling and I'm glad I could finally get it out. Hopefully things will start to settle down as thanksgiving nears..that would be wonderful!

Anywho, I hope y'all's week is going fabulous! Be watching for a discipleship post later in the week!

Perfection

{Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.} - Matthew 5:48

Sometimes I feel like I try so hard, and yet it's never good enough. I'm so tired of being constantly pushed to my limits and still being expected to do more. I just can't live up to everyone's expectations....I can't live up to my own half the time! My anti-perfectionist feelings ensued when I began calculus this year. I literally feel SO dumb..I feel like I know the material and then a test/quiz arrives and I can hardly pass. It's so frustrating! I feel like I could do better, work harder, achieve more. I just feel helpless right now though...how do I fight this struggle?

I need to fight it with the armor of Christ! I'm just having a hard time comprehending that as well. Let's just say it's complicated.
