Ginger

So as I was thinking about what to write today I put my hair up in a ponytail. Its probably pointless for me to tell you this but as I was doing this it reminded me of the book/movie of unserious of unfortunate events. It reminded me of Violet the older sister in the book of when ever she was getting a genious idea she would put her hair up with a ribbon. Anyway speaking of the book/movie it just reminded me of how many situations they overcome. I think the biggest hurdle they had to overcome was the death of their parents. Im going to relate this hurdle they went through with one of my friends in my life that has made a big impact of my life. This friends is one of the strongest girls I know. She has had to deal with alot of deaths in her life; a few people that she was closes too left her life sooner than she wanted them too. Now im not saying she is the strongest person i know becuase she can hide her real feelings from everyone. Its becuase she can openly speak to me about how she feels about the deaths of her loved ones that past. I know if she is reading this she would say no she is not as strong as everyone thinks she is. You need to know thats perfectly OK!!! its ok to let your guard down. I know the question thats going through my head is God why in the word would you let so much death happen into someone's life? Why would you put this on someone who is so astonishing? Why would you not let this happen to someone like me?
Philippians 4:7: And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Even though you many not have the answers why, you can still experience God's peace.
Sometimes we need to talk through our pain
Jesus is truly the only one who knows how you feel.
Romans 8:18 and James 1:2-4
He uses unexplainable situations to make us more like Jesus. God never stops caring for us. Its impossible for him to stop caring.  Look to him for new strength. He doesnt wants to see us go through pain; he wants to take all the pain away.
Something for you ginger: dont be afraid to shed a tears, and be honest about your emotions with God and others Matthew 5:4. Turn to God. He's strong enough to handle your questions, your grief, your anger, Ignoring him won't help, but unloading your burdens on him will. You are loved! Remember that Jesus was overcome with sorrow and tears before he died. He understands your pain and longs to comfort you Psalm 62:5-8 Romans 8:38-39. You are his duaghter and he loves you so much he made you unique and special there is no other ginger like you in the world so don't conform into this world. There is so much I would love to talk to you about!! Remember I love you and always will and you can always talk to me about anything even if its just to hang out and not even say anything! You truly are and inspiration to me and I hope some day I can be like you a little.
