And he told me that everything is going to be okay.

I Talked To God Today
Moody Collective Podcast

No matter what is going on with my life, I always turn to God.

"Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always."1 Chronicles 16:11

God is my friend, my best friend. He loves me no matter what I do in my life, no matter what poor decisions or mistakes I make. He loves me for who I am. He puts me in situations not to just go through them but to learn from them.

Lately, I've been stressed and overwhelmed. I feel as if nothing in my life is going right. All I want to do is break down and cry because that is the only solution I've came up with. But for the first time in a while today, I talked to God.

I kept asking him for guidance, confidence in myself, relief and to be stress free. I prayed to be a better person and to love him more. I prayed to have more faith. I prayed to let go and let him take over. I told him I didn't want to be the person I am anymore, I told him I wanted to be a better Christian for him, for myself and for my loved ones. I told him my faith was weakening and that I needed help to strengthen it.

After talking and praying to God, I felt his presence and his love took over my heart. I knew then, that he was telling me that everything was going to be okay in my life and that he had a plan for me. Everything will happen the way it should happen and the way that God wants it to be.

"Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." Jeremiah 29:12

I need to stop letting stupid and dumb things control me and my emotions when I have someone far greater pushing me to be the best version of myself. I need to learn better to do everything through and for God.

Nervous about test? I am going to pray to God for strength. Thinking low of myself? I am going to pray to him for confidence. Had a fight with someone dear to me? I will ask for help, a solution, and not to be worried.

God works in mysterious and miraculous ways. He is always there when we need him and he will always answer our prayers. Yes, sometimes he may not answer them right away but he will at the right moment and at the right time.

Everything that happens in our lives is all according to God's plan. Never doubt his plans because the plans he has for you, me, and everyone is and will be so rewarding.

God is so great, let me tell ya! God is so, so good and he is good ALL THE TIME.

"For the Lord is good; his loving kindness is everlasting and his faithfulness to all generations." Psalm 100:5


Do you ever just stop and think, wow? God is the King of Kings, our Creator, the Almighty, our Father, our Ruler, and he loves us for who we are even if we aren't perfect! That is the most amazing, beautiful feeling that anyone could ever have. God loves us even though we have flaws.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you." 2 Corinthians 12:9

I am going to be a better version of me for God. To serve and to love him more, to have extraordinary faith like no other.

Today, I talk to God again, and I am overflowing with his love and faith.

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.

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.
