I think the most important thing to help you through when you're feeling semi-explosive to ask yourself 'how much does this REALLY matter?' whenever emotions start to escalate. 'Is this worth getting angry and ruining my own day, or can I let it go?'… and God knows I can sympathize with the 'perfect little Christian' bull. The fact is, NO little Christian is perfect, we're all human and flawed, and when so many live in denial of that fact, we're all at fault for hypocrisy. You acknowledging that you aren't perfect is actually a great thing-people who demand it from themselves are miserable and at some point will break down under the pressure they put on themselves. When I was younger, I acted like everything was okay, like I was happy, like I was a perfect little Christian, like I cared about my life… and my family was falling apart, and I'd been suffering from depression for years, and I almost gave up that life I'd stopped valuing… and none of my friends knew a thing about it. But God saved me, and in the end His love can save us from anything, including ourselves, if we let Him. If you ever need someone to talk to, know I'm willing to listen-I haven't been a great follower or commenter, because of insane busyness, but I do care, and have felt like you feel, and know that you can break free from it with work and help from Him (and finding one person with whom I was truly honest about my life completely changed me, and helped me over time to realize what mattered and what didn't, by writing my heart out in five page emails xD). Anyway, I appreciate rawness and complete honesty, and think it was brave of you to let yourself be so vulnerable. You aren't just another Jane Doe-that's just what you're letting us call you for now :).Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622529052150223699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924342261023847761.post-67954699906799502582011-04-02T19:46:47.061-07:002011-04-02T19:46:47.061-07:00Thank you so much all of you!

Its all good now!<br />May Amelia and Liz, I'm so glad that this post helped you where you are. I love how God can take my horribly crappy day and use my fustrations to help others... Hearing that was even better :) <br />People tell me I have a way with words.... I didn't feel like I was saying anything.... well...well. It mostly was just emotional barf as I like to call it.<br />Liz - Don't worry about! COnsidering I'VE been a horrible blogger lately (or lack of, as the case may be...) <br />Thats great!! I promise I'm not a creepy stalker! Well.... thats debately... but I am who I say! hahaJane Doehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845499554727953850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924342261023847761.post-14749134937739208682011-04-02T12:51:36.479-07:002011-04-02T12:51:36.479-07:00wow.

I haven't ever really commented, so I'm going to try to start being better at it now. <br />Oh and as for the penpal thing, my mom gave me full permission for it. As long as she thinks you aren;t a creepy stalker, she normally doesn't mind those things :)<br />P.S I don't know why I never commented. I love your blog.Madalyn Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875833811285691508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924342261023847761.post-50334756031480274572011-03-30T19:34:57.979-07:002011-03-30T19:34:57.979-07:00*jaw drops* How in the world did you manage to wri...*jaw drops* How in the world did you manage to write down exactly what I feel?!?! You know that is a gift. ;) I was/am in your shoes now... It's kinda like people tell you all the time to just "be yourself," but it's like, well, what if you don't know who you are, you know? But anyways, not sure that that had anything to do with the post... Seriously though, you've written down EXACTLY how I feel. My friends think I am Miss Perfect LIttle Christian too and umm, no, I am not! *sigh* And I know, too, what you mean about not thinking anyone cares. Because, I'm there to listen to them but they aren't there to listen to me. Yeah.<br />And no, you didn't scare me off. If I could, I'd follow you again. <br />My remedy? Take a deep breath, go get some ice cream, and turn to Psalms. Park there for a little bit. Maybe say one of the Psalms there as a prayer. I'm learning in one of my Bible classes that that's what the Psalms are there for--worship and prayer. :) It's perfect because sometimes we don't know what to say. Then get a good night's sleep. Believe me--everything looks better in the morning!! <br />And maybe you think you're just another average person, but (and I need to keep telling myself this too) YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. And UNIQUE. And CREATIVE. Don't believe me? He gives you the sun, moon and stars, sandy beaches, and inspiration, movies and chocolate. Face it girl, He's crazy about you. =]Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945175153089310527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924342261023847761.post-74900148621443755972011-03-30T19:16:54.231-07:002011-03-30T19:16:54.231-07:00Wow.

Don't give up, girly! God loves you and he'll never leave you :))<br />-Jocee <3<br />P.S. I read this post!
