teenage struggles...

Sometimes when I am having a bad day I make it worse by thinking of people who I think are really pretty, or who have flat tummy's or people who I always find look good.  I use to cry every day when I had somewhere to go because it meant I had to pick out an outfit which I never felt good in.

Satan used that to get to me and really put me down. He fed me lie after lie after lie. Letting Satan get to you is one of the worst things ever, so just let Jesus deal with it in HIS perfect timing.

Growing up with an older sister who was close in age was also very challenging, she would always be the one to get invited to parties to have the boyfriend and the thing that really got me was person after person would tell me how pretty she was, even people I never knew.

I then read the book Moral Revolution by Kris Vallotton in summer and for those who have read it will remember the story of the two sisters, one got the dates, got asked to prom, was very sociable and was always with friends whilst the other would sit upstairs weeping because she felt unloved.

The significant point in that story was that Jesus was keeping the perfect man for her, who she would eventually marry, sometimes we just need to remember that Jesus does have a plan and the best things will come in His timing. All paths lead to the same road so whether there is a dip or massive curve in the path which you are afraid to concur then go for it as He will lead the way.
