My life is Yours

Dear God,

I realize now how far I had strayed from thee. I see that I had taken my life into my hands and said "I have it all figured out, I know what my life will be...". Oh, how wrong I was Lord. You laughed softly, and with a tear in your eye said "Oh Maryssa, sweet Maryssa.  That isn't how life works. I see into eternity and I know the plans I have for you".

I know that when I cry, you cry. When I feel lost, you send angels to guide and protect me.

I am sorry that I stopped turning to you. I'm sorry that I thought I knew better than you. I don't, Lord.

I really don't.

Father, I am grateful you gave me these three wonderful years with my husband. I am grateful for the stability of our home, and our finances. You knew I needed that stability for this period of my life.

As life changes drastically for us both, I pray that we will be guided to greener pastures. Lord, help me to come safely back into your fold. Embrace me with your ever outstretched arms. Teach me patience, forgiveness, and love.

Thank you for giving Micah to me, even if for only this short time. I am grateful for the things I learned, for the live we shared, for the trials we went through.

Father, help me surrender my life to thee. For I know you are Good, and I know you love your children.

Forever and Always your daughter,
Maryssa

Silent Cries Need Addressed

Depression, Anxiety, Suicide...There are so many ideas and words attached to them. I am not going to claim I know what it is like to want to kill yourself...but..I would like to share some thoughts and ideas that have been accumulating in my head since the suicide of a very close friend just a month ago yesterday... Sigh....The day before he went through with it, he spent that evening with a group of friends (I wasn't with them that day) and from their accounts, they said he was happy. Totally fine...they had no clue. -I heard from one person, "They are happiest right before they carry through because they know the pain is about to end.." I don't know if that is true or not. So, Many people don't know this, but I was very much involved this last year of his life trying my best to be his friend and help him get through the darkness he felt. -Some days I would get a text or call from him telling me he wasn't safe. I would then proceed to call him...

Debate vs. Decide

Whenever I am faced with a challenging decision, such as what my major should be, or what to do about certain individuals, I tend to use the term "Debating". I am "debating" in my mind whether I should do such and such major or I am "debating" what to do about a certain boy for instance. Well, a friend of mine brought up the realization that humans now-a-days seem to use debate far more often then the word "Decide". Why does it matter? Well because debate is a back and forth argument that may or may not ever come to a conclusion. Where as deciding forces one to come to a conclusion. Example! For a while I have been "debating" on what I should major in. There is no commitment in that statement! So I signed up for a career exploration class and so far, it has been helping me reach more narrowed conclusions as to what I am interested in. I still am not sure but I am trying to decide. Example # 2! This guy I know...well I met him up h...

I had a recent conversation with a close friend about Faith and Fear. This person was stressing about the future and feeling worry and wondering if things would work out the way he was wanting them to. He was struggling and feeling overwhelmed. This is what I shared with him. Faith CANNOT exist where there is fear and worry. God says over and over again to "Be not afraid, only believe." and "ask in faith and it shall be given you." These phrases are repeated quite often in the scriptures.  God wants us to place our faith in Him. He has promised that when we chose Faith over Fear, then He will be with us, He will bless us, and He will answer our prayer. I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES. I ASK for Miracles. I have learned two things through my trials growing up. 1. God WANTS to bless us. 2. When I choose Faith, God takes care of me :) I want to invite you, the next time you feel overwhelmed worrying about the future, take a deep breath and ask for a Miracle. T...
