We Need Each Other

I'm at that point in my life where I am tired of the constant drama that is always floating around. I try not to create it, but it always seems to find me and drag me in when I don't care. I always feel like I am the one responsible for fixing it, but I am tired of always having to be the mature one. I still feel like I am in seventh grade sometimes, gossiping about the girls sitting at another lunch table.

Everyone in your life is there for a reason. They are there to teach you things and make you a better person throughout the good and the bad. So get over all the lame stuff you are fighting about and learn from it. I'm done with drama, it's not worth my breath. I'm on this Earth to do a lot more things than to waste my time with such nonsense.

"Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful" (2 Tim. 2:23-24).

"It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel" (Pr. 20:3)

"Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out" (Pr. 17:14).

"A hot tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel" (Pr. 15:18).

Listen to Sanctus Real's song "We Need Each Other"

Desert Song

This song has hit me at a time when I really needed to hear it.

"This is my prayer in the desert, when all that's within me feels dry. This is my prayer in my hunger and need, my God is the God who provides."

I feel like I am in the desert right now. It got me thinking about Matthew 5:6 which says "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." I am more confused about life right now than I have ever been. I know God can satisfy all my needs, but I need to be patient. I want to be righteous and live for Him, but I feel like I'm being suffocated by those that are surrounding me. I just moved away from home for college and I am in the process of finding a new church and pray that God will lead me to the right place.


"I will bring praise, I will bring praise. No weapon formed against me shall remain. I will rejoice, I will declare, God is my victory and He is here."

Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon formed against you will prevail" This is something that I really needed to be reminded of. Nothing in this world can bring me down when I have the love of the Father. It is so reassuring to know this fact.

"All of my life, in every season, You are Still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship."

This is the most striking part of the song for me personally. We go through many different seasons in our journey of life, but in each season we must still praise Him. A situation that reminds me of this is when my friend's grandmother was dying of cancer. She was extremely ill, but everyday she still lived to glorify Him. She had reason to be mad at God, but she wasn't. She taught me a lot about faith and I feel like she was an extremely huge blessing in my life.

The rest of the song is amazing as well, but I don' t have time to write anymore right now. I'm going to try to start blogging more regularly, but my class schedule might keep me form doing so. Thanks for reading. Praise be to God.

This song just goes along with what I've been thinking
about lately and about how our generation lives.
Have a vision and pursue it, don't worry about anybody else.
Follow his path.

Bethany Dillon - Revolutionaries

Many have traveled this road before
I see their tracks in the dirt
But maybe I don’t agree
With where they are leading
And who am I, just a youth
But why has that become the excuse
A monotone voice
In my head saying

Dreaming all the time
It’s so foolish
Your flood of empty words
Will drown you in ruin
So we listen
Should we listen

They shake their heads
As they drive away in the bandwagon
Didn’t feel like hitching a ride
Oh, but I’ll be fine
Some nights it’s hard to be alone
I want some kind of kinship
But the finish line
It drives me on
When they say

Dreaming all the time
It’s so foolish
Your flood of empty words
Will drown you in ruin
So we listen
Should we listen

Come with me
They’ll call us revolutionaries
Come with me
They’ll call us revolutionaries

Dreaming all the time
It’s not foolish
Your flood of life giving words
They will refresh
Should we listen
Revolutionaries

I just need to get a few things off of my chest. I look around at some of my peers and I am shocked by their behavior. They complain because they don't have any freedom and nobody cares about what they have to say, but their actions are embarrassing. Just because you think you're old enough, that doesn't mean that you need to go around yelling profanity or being loud just to try and look important. This only gets unwanted attention. And I don't understand why people run around getting into one irresponsible relationship after another. Being in these kinds of relationships doesn't make you look like a grown-up, it makes you look stupid and I have pity for you. You want to be taken seriously, so take action. Be a responsible adult and have enough respect for yourself to wait for the right person to come along. I'm sorry if I sound like one of your parents right now, but this drives me insane. It makes our generation look bad, it's no wonder older generations looks down on us. I have more to say, but I'm in a hurry, so I hope this makes sense.

So next time you find yourself complaining because you're young and you don't get any respect, read this verse and live it as well:

1 Timothy 4:12
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in PURITY."

Give people a good reason to talk about you. Live a radical life, you won't regret it.

(And by no means do I think that I am perfect. I have my faults too. Believe me)
