selfishness is the worst

September 03 2005
quick update from last time - my great-grandmother is still holding on - barely though. my mom told me this morning that her eyes have glazed over - there's no color in them whatsoever - no pupil or anything. i think that might be the creepiest thing i have ever heard. so this weekend may be tough - keep my family in your prayers please!
and as far as prayers go you can add me to that list as well. i don't know what the deal is but i am having the hardest time lately. it is so frustrating. i know that the devil knows my weakest points - and, gosh darnit, if he hasn't hit me the hardest in those areas right now... it's awful. i don't usually ask for encouragement, but if you've got something right now i'd be okay with that. i feel so lost, lonely, unwanted... and i know it's satan. i know it is. i keep getting ahold of that for a little bit, but then i just lose it again. i need to conquer it. but i'm not there yet. it's a completely selfish thing. i know that. and i hate it. but i can't get on top of it.
life is not all bad, though. don't get my wrong. some really awesome things are happening - as always. that just seems to lurk in the back of my mind... and perhaps over my heart... and comes out frequently. for now i have laundry to do. and homework. and i'd like to get my room put together. and it's free weekends, maybe i need to make a few phone calls home... and to OKC of course. and florida. why are my friends so far away??

i have been feeling lost, lonely, and unwanted as well. God has been teaching me to push a lie away, and let His truth flow into me. and the truth is that you are passionately desired by the Creator of the Universe, He is always with you, and always guiding you. i will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers. hope you have a great day!
