These verses are for all my friends who are struggling this show that you must have faith in god he will never let you down. it shows the power of faith the walls of jericho fell because of the faith of people. My friend kale told me to read hebrews chapter 11 when i was stuggling and it has showed me so much and gave me the faith that god is with me through it all.
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
39And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

I decided to put these verses in to show that u really have to trust god in all things bcause he is the only one that can bring you through....and sometimes god puts you through suffering to make you a vessel
10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
13And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
18For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

I found this poem on the internet and it really caught my attention i thought i would share it with you guys:
Darkness surrounds me.
I cannot see the light
At the end of the tunnel.
And so I try to fight.
The more I try to fight,
The more I seem to fail.
Hope seems so distant...
So thin... So frail...
I cannot make it.
I know that it's true.
Despair is all I feel.
I know not what to do.
Now I see beside me,
A sad looking man.
He's reaching out to me,
With his nail-scarred hands.
He seems to know
My sorrow and my pain.
He seems to know,
What road I have ta'en.
But how can he know?
How can it be?
How could he hear?
How could he see?
How can he possibly
Know or understand,
This sad man,
With nail-scarred hands.
I can't ignore him.
I must give in.
I know, by myself,
I cannot win.
This man will keep me
From many harms.
So I reach out to him,
WIth open arms.
He will help me.
I know that it's true.
I know he knows
Exactly what to do.
He holds me close
And now I understand,
This happy man,
With nail-scarred hands.
I've been thru the tunnel,
And now see the light.
Now I see so clearly,
That my descision was right.
I did not do it
On my own.
He helped me find
My way home.
He hsa helped me
In my life.
He has taken
My pain and strife.
I gave in
To a winderful man
That reached out to me,
With nail-scarred hands.
I dunno this poem almost made me cry and knowing me i don't like to cry but it shows gods love and how hes always there it is so amazing!!!!!!!!1

Each day is full of curveballs and soul-searching, but out of our most vulnerable and defenseless periods often come the most valuable lessons of character, spiritual sharpening and insight to the questions that weigh heavy on our hearts
I think this shows that maybe sometimes god puts us through stuff to help us learn and grow...........what do u think?
deep inside of me!!

monday again........that means 1 more week till ...................
spring break.......................
i'm excited i get to sleep in all week hells yes anyways I am stuck in the middle of being a teenager and an adult i don't know what to do with life anymore everyone wants me to be a leader and to be an adult, but i don't think i'm ready for that step yet..........but anyways church was awesome last night we have a visiting preacher from michigan his name was Rich Strawcutter he was awesome. I wish he could have stayed longer i always enjoy people like that. so i started writing this poem but couldn't finish what do you think?
theres this lonley feeling
deep inside of me
no one to fill this gap
no one to hear my pleas
I tried to ask god for his help
its like he never knew
the broken pieces of my life
could never be renewed.............
writers block i wrote this poem and heres where i stop, cause this poem is me and maybe the reason i can't finish is cause i haven't found a way to fill that hole.
