anele’s right, i’m totally screwed up! no need to feel shamed! the lord, only needs your trust! No sin is too great for the Lord to turn from that person. That’s the coolest part. If we just give God the leadership in our lives, he’s gonna bless us and help break apart our evil, disgusting flesh… It’ll be scary, painful (for our pride at least), but we can have hope because the Lord is our anchor… shit we got god on our side, what else do we need?

i wish i would reflect more on that fact myself…

I used to compare myself to other ppl to (sometimes i still do) and i was totally right, i suck at everything. I am a totally helpless piece of shit. But the Lord has built me up to be something. To mean something. God is the cream in my coffee! Those other things like athetics, smarts and prettiness is nothing in the eyes of the lord.
but, then it is so easy to compare your walk with other believers. The lord brought to my attention that the devil was feeding me lies that i was worthless to the body. But i am gold and you are! God can use anyone who trusts in Him.
Do it, watch what happens.

P.S. i am sick, evil and crazy twisted. So is Jeff Smalley, you have no idea.

OK DUH!!! Just found your poem and read it. One thing about mels that is very cool, is how insightful and discerning they can be. And that you are, Elli. I really love how you are so open with your feelings. That makes you so ” approachable “. Your peom shows that you are seeing some things and that you want to move on, and now with this new blog you sound sort of stuck. It’s hard to get unstuck, I know. I’ll tell ya, the only remedy to that is to literally think about someone else - namely God, and then your friends, family etc..
Don’t let the devil keep you stuck. Don’t forget you are in a battle, you have a big ole’ target stuck to your forhead - do not let him win with his accusations.
A simple, uncomplicated
decision needs to be made;
Need to decide to climb out of the place you are stuck in, in your mind,
trust in the Lord,
then do the next thing
(love and serve others). That’s what obedience to the Lord is. Once you do that, then that whole thing about “what am I good at” will become clearer and clearer. Remember you were created with purpose and He has a plan for you. (Don’t mean to be cheesy or trite - but it’s a truth that’s easy to forget when were stuck).

BTW Hope you get those tickets, sounds like a blast!!!

well elli, this was a cool blog, and you aren’t far from anele and adi. Yes, a meloncholy always manages to pull off a grumpy mood or act very stubbornly, I know very much how that feels and runs being an immature meloncholy myself. But, you have been having much improvement in your walk with Christ. It’s cool to see you bringing that one girl to HC. (Have you had a chance to ask her what she thinks of the bible study?) You’re still a 9th grader, and none of us were really mature yet then, especially me… You got bout 4 more years of high school, you’ll face hardships, broken friendships, discipline, and if you continue to rely on the lord, some spiritual maturity…

I guess I feel pretty bad. I come off harshly to ya Elli, at least that’s what you’ve told me. I don’t mean to bring you down. You just remind me somewhat a lot like myself like a sibling, especially since we’re both mels. I’ve had to deal w/ my flesh, trying to listen to others’ advice at the expense of my own pride. It’s hard and I still struggle alot w/ it. I guess I’m just trying to help ya lighten up, but there is a point where ya can go too far. So, I just wanted to give some words of encouragement. And don’t feel the need to be someone else. The Lord made you a mel for a reason Elli, and the Lord made Anele lazy for a reason (whoopsy did i say that? hehe just kidding), and elli when you’re in a grateful mood, you are a blast to be around! and you’ve been a lot more grateful lately then ever! Keep seeking the Lord, sis!

(Sorry for the horribly long comment…)
