Have you ever? September 11, 2008

  • Felt such a strong pull from God but you can’t quite hear what he’s trying to say? Sometimes I think he’s just telling me to shutup and relax. I picture God like that. You know, laid back and will just call you out, yet still be the numero uno person you run to. I like that picture of him a lot :)
  • Wanted to talk to someone but no one is there to talk to? Sure I have a roommate, and two girls that I’ve met across the hall, but no one that knows the real me. It gets kind of lonely
  • Wanted people to tell you what you want to hear just so you reassure yourself?
  • Wanted the “ideal relationship” with someone, and then something happens where you have to start from square one again? sucks.

 

I feel so out of place sometimes. I’m living in what seems like my own little city and no way to get out of it. I sit here in my dorm, writing out my own little pity party and listening to Hillsong United. It’s become normal for me to have at least a daily breakdown it seems like.

I haven’t been eating much–which is strange. I just don’t have an appetite. I feel so empty right now, and I don’t know what to do about it. I have a feeling on my chest like something is pressing down on it. I know it’s God trying to talk, but I can’t listen. For some reason I can’t hear him. I don’t have enough time to gather my thoughts and try to hear what he’s saying to me; and this should never be the case.

I’m just ready to relax, pray and listen, and EAT all day long. But, as a nursing student I won’t be able to do that until after I’m out of school. Guess I don’t have to worry about that freshman 15 for now, right?

    You know the right thing to do, Ashley. Stay close to God. Keep praying and stay in his word. God will speak!!!

    I know he will. My problem right now is finding time to hear him. I feel so overwhelmed with school work and I know I should always be able to make time. It’s so frustrating. haha.

    thanks for the words of encouragement though :)
    much love
