It Is Finished

Jesus finished every struggle when he died on the cross.

It Is Finished

We all struggle with things that are going on in our lives. It could be something that some people find odd that you would be struggling with or it could be a major issue. Either way, it is a struggle that is hard to handle. It can very well just consume us and over take our lives. We need someone who will take this burden from us and help us get through the hard times.

As I sit and think about struggling, it is so apparent in my life right now. I cannot seem to understand if I have made the right decision in leaving everything that I have ever known to go to a new town. This may seem weird, but it is my current struggle that I am dealing with almost every day. About a week ago though, I was reminded about a how there is a powerful God who is always there for me. I was having a decision with a group of girls at church, and one was telling us a story. She had been struggling with something for a long time. After some help from others, she felt that God had taken that struggle and had written “It is Finished” instead.

This hit me hard because I now realized something that I had known but never really thought about. God wants to help us, and He has. When He sent His only son down to Earth to die a brutal death on a cross, He made a way for us to not have to worry about anything because “It is Finished.” Jesus finished every bad thing and struggle on the cross when he died to save us from our sins. Satan was defeated and he has no hold on our lives anymore. All we need to do is take our pain, our struggle, our guilt, our sin to the cross and lay it at the feet of Jesus because he and God will take care of us and help us when we are hurting because they love us so much. Just remember that “It is Finished.”

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
