Why I Need Jesus…

We are living in a time where all we hear from the world is thinking about self, thinking of me, putting YOU first. And don't get me wrong, it is so... important to take care of your body, your emotions and mental well being. But... it's also super essential to have a grounding, a rock you can rely on and a purpose in each day.

I've done life where I didn't want to think I needed a higher power to direct me in how to live. I felt abandoned and alone. My heart was broken, bruised and bitter. Why did I need a God who I felt wasn't listening to direct me in how I chose to live? At that point, I questioned if there even was a Heavenly Creator or if it was just from my upbringing of being told there was one. And the truth is, through all of my independence and decision making I was lonelier then ever, and just as confused. I had no idea what I was supposed to do, or why I was even put on this earth. And even as I was achieving my goals or feeling like I was making headway, there was a huge whole in my heart. Something missing. And no matter what I did, or what I tried to believe in, my thoughts always returned to Jesus.

But this is where God is so, so good. He never leaves you, even when you go your own path and trying to figure out who you are and where you fit. He stands a little back and waits for you to call on Him when you're ready. And through it all, He still sends blessings or people to meet you on your journey.
