To The Girl Who Just Doesn't Know

It is okay to not be okay.

It is okay. It is okay to not know what you want to do with your future. It is okay to not know what you want to major in. It is even okay to not know what you want for lunch. Most importantly, it is okay to not be okay.

How comforting is that? I love knowing that someone bigger, more powerful, and all knowing that has my back. Every single day we have to choose to put our trust in Him. Gather our worries and lay them down at the feet of Jesus. The Bible tells us hundreds of times "Do not be afraid", so what is there to fear, right? Trust me, I know it's not that easy. Faith is hard. Especially during hard times, because who wants to believe that such a loving, gracious God would allow us to be so lost and confused.

Psalm 119:105 says "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." God does allow us to go through trials and tribulations, and he will give us more than we can handle, but he is faithful. He gives us these experiences so we can be a light to others in their time of need.

What we, as a society, need to understand is brokenness is not beautiful. It is wretched and ugly. The beauty is in the intricate, artistic, and divine way God can bring beauty out of brokenness.

We can't be perfect. But what is so good is that we don't have to be. Life is confusing and lonely and hard sometimes and all I really know is the answer is Jesus.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
