Being Under Pressure

Writing a heart felt and true blog is hard work, knowing just what to say when you feel people will need to hear it, knowing the right verses to pop in for certain situations and living your life realizing every moment can be a lesson. I'm no one to talk (at least not at the moment) and say that my life is hard, and i'm going through some terrible life changing things, and turning it into a beautiful testimony. I know that I'm living the testimony I will one day speak about and hopefully change lives. 
Because I know as for right now, life is going pretty great. I mean everyone has there daily challenges, and constant self battles- but there's always good in the bad days. 
I try so hard every week to come up with some amazing words for you all to hear, and like anyone I get writers block and end up disliking what I've posted. Not every week is going to be perfect, but if its in Gods plan- the right words will come. 

Now, onto the better part of my crazy writing! 

This week I've really comes to the realization that I'm pretty insecure about myself. I mean what teenage girl isn't?
We have to fight for guys attention, feel pretty, slap on makeup everyday, deal with school.. all that fun stuff, plus handling our daily walk with God.
It's hard work being you, I know and trust me I understand that.
But is every day worth fighting for the worlds attention, while you already have someone who wants you more than anyone ever will? is life really worth worrying about when we have someone mightier in control? 
When we give our lives to the world always craving and expecting their acceptance, it will never happen, never win and no one will ever love you more than Jesus does. I've realized through my insecurities that they don't matter, because i am loved. YOU are loved. 
The book of Psalms is my favourite book in the Bible, and its because most times things in that book are pretty straight forward and clear, and a day where I'm upset I can just go to that book and know I'll find some encouraging words that are easier to understand. 
Psalm 59 "Deliver Me From My Enemies"

"Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
    protect me from those who rise up against me; deliver me from those who work evil,    and save me from bloodthirsty men."
In that verse i feel like it talks in fear of the world, and being hurt. Then this verse comes along: 

"But you, O LORD, laugh at them;

you hold all the nations in derision.
O my Strength, I will watch for you,
for you, O God, are my fortress.
 My God in his steadfast love will meet me;
God will let me look in triumph on my enemies."

And then verse 8, 9 and 10 come and we're sure God is more mighty. Realizing Our God is more mighty than any insecurity, any person letting us down, any plan gone astray, etc. 
OUR GOD IS IN CONTROL. And He loves you just as you are, and someone someday on this earth will show you Gods love by loving you just as you are, as well. 
Insecurities don't match Gods endless love, no person fighting against us will ever win. God is mighty, is holding your life, and has a plan for it- in fact, it's already planned out. (600 million years ago, believe it or not) 
Never let the thought patterns of the world bring you down, or your personal insecurities or battles weigh the good in life- then there's nothing to smile about and God is then out of control. If you ever need someone to grab your anchor and pull you back into reality, let it be God.
There could never be a more beautiful you, be happy with Gods perfect design, embrace it and share what God blessed you with, with the world!
You are one of a kind. All in Gods image. Love it. :) There is no better captain than Him.
