Jim Elliot said, "God always gives his best to those who leave the choice to Him."
God has promised... only His best.
anyway, just so you guys know, i'm kinda going through a rather rough patch right now.
i'm just gonna bare my heart and soul here, since i think only my closest and dearest read this blog anyway. hahaha. i didn't actually laugh, just so you know. it was a filler.
but listen up, so you know what's going on and so you can - hopefully - support me in love and prayer... i'm honestly scared. thinking about it, i've realized that the thing i'm most terrified of in the world is simply loneliness. not having anyone, you know? and apart from Jesus, i honestly think... i might have no one. oh, good, now my throat's hurting and i'm crying again. HAHAHA. that's not even funny.
it sucks to be so far away from everybody i know and love.
it's emotionally exhausting to have to push and strive and work, every day.
be strong, joey.
smile, joey.
be friendly, joey.
laugh, joey.
pretend, joey.
make small talk, joey.
don't be so insecure, joey.
don't be so sensitive, joey.
hang on, joey.
it'll get better, joey.
only it isn't getting better.
right, by now even i don't know what the heck i'm typing about.
am putting this picture up because... when you girls first came back from cambodia, things were so weird and i felt so wrong even hanging out with you.
you're all wearing the same same shirt, and i'm not. i was different from all you guys.
but in a couple of weeks everything went back to normal and i fit again, like in a jigsaw.
so... in the same way.
He'll come through for me.
Jesus will be my strength.
Isaiah 35:3-4
Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way;
say to those with fearful hearts,
"Be strong, do not fear, your God will come...
He will come to save you."
love me? pray. it's the only - and probably the best - thing you can do anyway.
