Make Me Brave...
August 19 2005
Let me tell you... God truly rocks...
God has been teaching me for... well... YEARS to trust Him. He's been trying to tell me for a long time to not worry about my life; that He is in control. He's been teaching me that I just need to rely on Him, and He will handle it.
Well, guess who has a temp job next week, and wasn't even looking for it?!
So next week, I am returning to the hallways of Riverdale for a week of getting paid for filing. Just to think... I did that an hour everyday for a semester for free! Well, I did get credit and a 100... which is better than nothing! Anyhow, so I'm kinda excited about the chance to make some extra money. It'll feel weird going back to the school though...
So God's also been teaching me this: to not be afraid. I'm afraid of college, afraid I may be doing something wrong but not even be aware of it... and I just need to stop! If God could protect me in the Bronx at 1:00 AM, He can take care of me anywhere, anytime! He always does, even when I am not aware of it.
I also have no reason to fear other people- because they're just people. And also, I need to not be afraid to stand up for what I believe. Someone may persecute me for it, but that does not matter.
I heard the song "Brave" (by Nichole Nordeman) on the radio the other day, and it was the first time I really listened to the lryics. I won't post all of them, because I know it can be annoying to read out a whole song, but just consider the following lines:
The gate is wide
The road is paved in moderation
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
Welcome to the middle ground
You're safe and sound and
Until now it's where I've been
'Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything
But it's been love, Your love, that cuts the strings
So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
God is calling me to be brave... no matter what.

She wasnt crazy thinking that SHS might win, she was just hoping for once that the better school and justice might prevail.
