I know, there are so many times when life gets us down and everything seems so stupid and unnecessary. Unfortunately it's all just part of the package of life. But I'll let you in on a secret: the trick is to just keep your chin up, kiddo. See when things go down they have to come back up again, that's just how it works. So just be patient and hang in there. Everything will work out in the end, and things will get better.
I'm sorry your holidays haven't been as great as you expected or wanted them to be. I guess sometimes life has a way of disappointing us. It's gay when people don't do what they say they'll do, or don't show up on time, or just don't bother seeing your point of view. We all have individual needs and wants, and sometimes it's frustrating when other people around us don't acknowledge them. I hate reading about how your sister treats you--i think it's so unfair and selfish. I would hate my sister if she did the things your sister does; it's so annoying how older sisters think they can boss you around and tell you what to do just coz they're older. That used to be the story of my life too.
I'm sorry about the whole surgery thing too. To be honest with you, i think you're pretty brave. I'm really scared of operations, and you just underwent an operation which places you pretty high in my mind. It must be pree annoying and frustrating having to deal with all the after effects. I hope you recover quickly and that your body stops hurting so much. When i read about how you feel, i feel pain too :/
Here's a story to remember, i love this story:
One Night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you you'd walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
Don't get too down; the Lord is always right there next to you. He loves you so much and he is looking for any opportunity to help you and comfort you; all you have to do is let him in and ask for his help. For me, i've personally experienced that the more i pray and ask for his help, the more help and comfort he gives me. It's actually funny how when things go downhill i always seem to remember this one scripture: It's in Jacob 2:8 and it says that the word of God (i.e. The scriptures and the words of the prophets) heals the wounded soul. So every time i read the scriptures, i feel content and know that everything will be ok, and i feel like a bit of weight has been taken off my shoulders; and i'm able to deal with all the things that come my way that day. Prayer and scripture study works. Even though you can't see the Lord, he is there and he takes some of that burden off you shoulders.
I know life can get us down sometimes, but just hang in there. Things will clear up in the end and everything will turn out ok. I promise you it will. Until then you just have to be patient.
And just remember that i think you're pree awesome! And you can call me anytime if you need anything. I'm being serious.
I made this specially for you :)
