Ryan:
"Stop. You have lost NOTHING.
Intmacy with God is something that you didnt lose, God is still right there. Dont lose sight of him
You may have hurt yourself today, and you may feel like you are sabotaging yourself, but thats where Satan wants you.
But dont think for one second that God does not see your desperation, and that it hurts him to see you hurt. He is reaching. reach for him and grab his hand. Just because you may have failed this time & failed today, doesnt mean that your intamcy wasnt STRONG. God is just teaching you something new to help strengthen you for tomorrow. But dont miss this moment of desperation, of failure, of upset, because its when we rejoice in the pain of Christ that we are renewed
2 Corinthians 12:9-10"
Seriously. The best friends in the ENTIRE world.
But I also have the best GOD ever. I really really really do...words cannot describe.
Today may have been horrible. A little bit of my spirit may have been crushed, but that just allows my spirit to be renewed even more so than it was alive before. It allows God to move in me in ways I never imagined. It allows my intimacy to grow and to flurish and to mature like never before.
"Don't run from suffering. Embrace it." -Luke 9:23
"Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way." -James 1:2-3
I need you Jesus
To come to my rescue.
Where else can I go?
Capture me with grace.
I will follow you.
Peace

hey I was looking at your pics and they are just awesome.
and wow I really like what your friend said there..very very pretty and true. never give in to what makes us think we're falling under. God will always be there no matter what as long as you search for him.(the searching bit is from a text but I have terrible memory so I can't recall which one it is)just know that He'll help you.
Oh and again, awesome pictures..totally ROCKING!
