Thank you for bein...Thank you so much for writing. <br />Thank you for being so honest, <br />My thoughts and my actions bring me to the same place that you wrote of,<br />a place of being so afraid of failure that you just don't try...<br />And even though I am just 19 years old and have not gone through or experienced everything you have been through,<br />I understand in every way I am able to.Bethhttp://momentstoyears.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389023695026522683.post-91373946662269903192012-04-25T21:12:41.256-07:002012-04-25T21:12:41.256-07:00What a wonderfully honest statement.

I can't remember it exactly, but it goes something like: "Jesus didn't come despite our sins; he came BECAUSE OF our sins." In other words, he came because of our failures. That gives me confidence, not in my abilities to do things right, but in his ability and willingness to accept us I am.<br /><br />WBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389023695026522683.post-79917290258441987162012-04-14T00:12:35.449-07:002012-04-14T00:12:35.449-07:00love you mate. grace.

I feel like there are so many times that I just want to give up and say "I can't do it anymore." I hate the feeling of rejection and disapproval. I often wonder what people think of me and sometimes it is all I think about constantly. I care too much of what others will think of me by the actions I do. Part of that is good I guess, but then it also consumes me sometimes.<br />What you wrote, I could apply to so much right now in my life. Thank you for sharing your feelings. Even though you may feel like you want to give up, know that God has a purpose for all that He is allowing you to go through right now : ) You sound like a really nice person, Jhen, and I'm so blessed to know you! You are a very talented photographer and a beautiful person, inside and out!Britt Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955954669053239302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389023695026522683.post-77039260755123628722012-04-11T20:33:21.603-07:002012-04-11T20:33:21.603-07:00Father has been teaching me things about this late...Father has been teaching me things about this lately. I haven't heard from Him in a while or made the time to hear from Him, but He got through to me. He showed me that if I declared the name of Jesus over the areas in my life that I struggle with, that He would fight for me. He would heal the wounds I have and calm my insecurities. When I finally realized this a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It feels so new but I feel so free and renwed in the passions He has given me. This is such a wonderful post and I always appreciate your honesty and openness. I will be praying for you and praying the Lord reveals Himself in ways he never has before.<br />-BreanneBreannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493789829969386439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389023695026522683.post-19000730943204066412012-04-11T20:27:56.577-07:002012-04-11T20:27:56.577-07:00Wow.

I can really relate to feeling the need to perform and all of this on so many levels. Just know that I think you are an amazing photographer, visionary, mother and compassionate-hearted person.
