Pressing on

The past few days have been extremely difficult for me. I have been very stressed about finals, papers due, and on top of that relationship conflicts I am dealing with, my thoughts, and so many other things. Been bullied because of my appearance and it is making me more self conscious about myself as well. It is super hard...

Lately, I just have been wanting to quit some things that I have been getting bullied in. It makes me want to just hid under a rock and never go out again. It makes me scared to eat, etc. But then one of my friends parents told me that I can't let these people win. If I do, they are only going to continue to do it. Which is totally true, but to think about all that is going on in my life. I feel that it would be a ton easier if I just forget about all these people and quit some of these classes. But then I would be letting them win and get away with it. So I have decided to try and just stick through it. I need to just trust the Lord, and know that God will deal with them about it if they continue. 

It is super hard going through all this when people don't know what I am going through and it is hard, because I feel like no one understands. But even if that were true, I need to continue to remember that God loves me and He understands me COMPLETELY. And He knows what I am going through. 

This morning, I found these verses that really have encouraged me. And for anyone that is going through anything like this, I pray that these verses will encourage you as much as they have me. 

Have a blessed day! :)
