I am pretty sure I am at a point in my life where I need to realize that I need to depend 100 percent on Christ. Lately I have allowed so many little things to really bother me when it come to everything (my friends, my family, and literally everything). I just wish God would say Lauren this is where I want you and you are going to be ok. You do not have to worry about your job, where you are going to live, how you are possible going to live on the salary you will be making. I mean I feel that I have totally changed my views on certain things since this time last year. Which do not get me wrong is totally an awesome thing, because I now know what I believe and not what someone else had told me. This also makes me frustrated though, because it makes me question everyone and everything. Like for instance I am constantly overanalyzing situations and thinking people have alternative motives, when it is clear they do not, and I am the one being ridiculous. The even more ridiculous thing about me being like this is the fact I do not tell anyone what I am truely thinking. Therefore, this creates hundreds of stupid thoughts running through my head for really no reason. Anyways this is enough of my rambling.

girl, i'm right there with you; it's so humbling when God gives me a glimpse of how little i really rely on him and how little faith i really have in him. reading exodus has done so much to help my understanding of that whole struggle; God teaches me about his faithfulness through the way he took care of the israelites. he always came through. if i can learn to live in the faith that he will come through for me too, it will, no doubt, be easier to live in that vulnerability of not having every single detail planned out. so hard. i'll remember to pray for you about that.
