hey thanks for your help, I guess i'll just wait till i'm back to sort things ouot with my friend. and even though it's a week trip, i'll try not to pack sharps...see what happens
Charlie- I'm in the same place as you, and I really struggle with opening up and asking for help, but the more I talk to my mentor and ask her for help the easier it gets. even though I don't think i deserve it she'd probably do anything to help me get better. and I'm sure your friend feels the same way. hang in there it take's practice
hey...i don't know if there are any other myriad fans out there, but in case you haven't heard: Randy Miller has cancer . :( He's an amazing guy. Keep him in your prayers.
*pulls close* praying <3 college apps will go fine beautiful <3

“Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.”
“If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best. My friends have always been the best of me.”
ah, pre-college panic. it's a killer...just take deep breath and remember that God's got a plan. You might get in to your first choice, or your last choice, or nowhere; you might change majors 50 times before you graduate; you might get tired of it and become a haridresser or contractor or something. College acceptance doesn't determine your worth <3
...rather rich words coming from the resident woraholic perfectionist, but...:laughs: still. they're true.
praying for you, and thanks for YOUR prayers--really need them at the moment :( stupid food, and bad habits, and...>_<

I just lied my way through a meeting with my school councler. I scarry thing is she believed me too. She made me show her my arms. She asked about love on my wrist in sharpie but she didn't see the scars.
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

hey guys...i hope your all doing well. :)
this morning i was reading psalms 42 and i just wanted to say its one of my favorite psalms now...
"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, o God. My sould thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night."
and then:
"why are you downcast, O my soul? why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God for i will yet praise him, my Savior and my God"
the rest of the psalm is amazing too....but these parts really popped out at me. I know many of us are going through hard things and i don't want to minimize those things at all...but this verse reminded me that even when things seem HORRIBLE and my soul is "downcast" i should still praise God like David did...and actually...i've done this before and it helps soo much to just praise Him in spite of it all. anyways...sorry for preaching lol...i just wanted to share my epiphany with somebody
i hope you all have a great day :) and i'm praying for you guys
Hey does anyone have any tips for getting closer to God again? I've just moved schools again (my new one didn't work out so i went back to my old one) and the work loads is quite large as ive missed almost a term and have exams in january and with everything i've just slipped away from God. I thought he was the one pushing me to move schools but it didn't work out so i dont think he was or maybe he was and thi sis all part of his plan rather than my mistakes. I dont know! but basically i just cant pray, i read my devos etc but i just cant pray i can say the words but its not prayer i don't know whats going on in my head im just putting a massive barrier round my heart im so scared ill misinterpret God and get hurt again, does anyone have any advice?

pineapple, keep saying the words, God works with what we can offer him. how do you get on if you try to sit in silence with Him for a short time, is that easier or harder than trying to say words? you might give that a try if you don't already. try not to worry about the workload, do what you can starting with the most important but if you don't manage it all, that's ok if it helps you keep your head steady.
pineapple...this is a bit of a paradox, i know, and it's something i struggle with too, but...honestly, i believe that we can only be close to God, through God. It's not through anything we can do. I know you said you're afraid, and you feel like you can't pray...but if you want to be closer to God again, you need to ask him for his help. we all get scared. maybe me more than most :) but...that's where faith comes in, really. it's being scared and doing it anyway.
and i am the biggest hypocrite in the world for saying this to you, but you did ask :) i only know the answer because it's something i can't do for myself. i've been so miserable lately...
here's hoping you're stronger than me. being stuck here is awful, and i wouldn't wish it on anyone in the world.
hey, guys. don't know if anyone will be interested but i found this the other day. they have many free online courses but the one that caught my eye was "In His Image", which is geared toward recovery from eating disorders.
song from caedmon's call i finally found lyrics for...
piece of glass Can’t believe that I did it again
Wake me up from this nightmare
Cause this monster is wasting me away and taking my days
Every day I live a bit less; one night leads to another
Even if I went back would they recognize me or criticize me
Who are you that lies when you stare in my face
Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was
Cause I just can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie
On you I just can't rely
After all you're just a piece of glass
Still I control this nightmare, when I call it answers
But I can't tell it when to come, or when to stay
Who are you that lies when you stare in my face
Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was
Cause I just can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie
On you I just can't rely
After all you're just a piece of glass
Don’t talk, listen
Hold me tighter
Stay with me just for a while
Until the sun shines stay with me
Just give me one more day
Who are you that lies when you stare in my face
Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was
Cause we're not the same, you're just a picture of me
You’re gone as soon as I leave; you've lived my life for me
And you're no more than a piece of glass
You're no more than just a piece of glass

I could use some extra prayer... My greatgrandmother passed away this morning...
and we're not sure when the funeral will be... but I have finals this week, and I don't know what happens if it's at the same time as one of my finals...
yikes.
&& God is doing something really big (and of course tremendously hard) in my life now. This actually may be even bigger than stopping SI...
I can't wait to tell y'all about it, but it'll have to wait until I have enough time to do it justice...
for now I'm back to studying.
