OMGoodness, Misha! This was exactly what I needed, girl! It’s times like these that I feel like we are so similar (and I’m sure there are a lot of other people out there who feel the same)!
I feel like I’ve been going through a dark time for a while now (years, really) and for a moment I thought things were getting better, but then life seemed to throw me a huge curve ball and I would fall back into that dark pit again with all the negative thoughts that came with it. I can totally relate with thinking thoughts about just going to heaven already, and questioning how I could feel such a way because I knew my situation in life wasn’t really That bad (that there were other people in the world who had a harder life than I, and then I’d feel guilty for feeling the way I was feeling).
I’m so glad you mentioned HOPE. It’s been one of my motivational words to remember during these years (I actually wear a ring that says hope and has Jeremiah 29:11 on it, which reminds me that God has a plan for my life, and a good plan that is not to harm me). I think as people, we often label certain emotions as good and some as bad, and that leads to beating yourself up about feeling the “bad” ones. I’d sometimes forget that having the Holy Spirit in me doesn’t mean that I’ll automatically be happy all the time or have to put on a “brave face”, but that I have a helper with me (that God will be my strength) and knowing that can give me a more positive outlook on those days that I’m really struggling. It’s okay to not feel okay sometimes.
Thank you for having the courage to just be real and to share these deeper parts of your life! It is such an encouragement! God’s got you right where He wants you to be, girl! And He’s already using you to do great things! <3 Lil
Also, I love how you are a great example of the cool things you can find at Walmart (and for a good price! I thought I was one of the only people out there – I love that place)! Like, more fashion people need to showcase what kind of cute things they have there! Hehe 🙂 And beautiful pictures (and model), as always (Tell Mycah and Giscelle they are fantastic photographers)!

Omg we do have a lot in common!! Thats kind of awesome girl! We can help each other out in our seasons! And I totally agree with you on everything you said! I felt exactly how you felt. So I minimized my season when I compared it to everything else around me, which did more harm then good. But yes everything you said, I can totally relate to! Especially about how just because you have the Holy Spirit in you doesn’t automatically mean you’re gonna be happy all the time. Happiness is a choice we must make everyday! I’m glad we are able to connect through the blog girl. And I’m glad you were touched by this post!! Thanks for the love and encouragement, sis!! <3 and HAHA! WALMART IS BOMB! And I will definitely let them know you said that! ;)
