Like my post says Sin is a fatal disease and nothing I can do or anyone for that matter can solve it. Only Jesus. However, I keep forgetting that, and I keep trying to fix my sin myself. I know in the back of my mind that I can't do it alone that I will only fail like I have the last million times, but I just keep trying to make myself whole without the help of anyone. Jesus has given me all that I need all that I will ever need and I still continue to say that I don't need him and I act as if I will never need him. My soul desires HIM, my flesh craves sin. I listen to my flesh and I give into its desires and I am right back were I started.
Only Jesus can make me whole again.
This is my life. One big disaster that somehow works. I would't trade a second of it. No sparkles or glam, just me. I want to share my life with you, so that you can see that we all need a savior. That savior being Jesus, without him my life serves no purpose. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"Come all, come to me"
Well at lot has been going on since I have last updated my blog. So now I will give you a quick run down of what is going on.
So since my last "real" blog post I have been going back and forth with some things that I have been struggling with for sometime now. I have let those things define who I am and as a result I kept going back to them and again and again. However, in this constant battle between my flesh and the spirit God has constantly been reminding me of his truths that He died for my sins so that I don't have to struggle with them any longer. But me being the extra stubborn person that I am I wanted to handle this myself and the more I tried to fix it the worse it got.
I kept forgetting that I need God in every aspect of my life, big or small and that without Him nothing in this world is possible. Then today at church it hit me like a ton of bricks while we were singing this song:
- I was in a car wreck and my car was totaled :( however, I was unharmed so everything is okay :).
- I am still trying to find a job at the moment. I do have some leads and we will see how everything goes :)
- I am also still looking for a car. If you have any suggestions on what I should get I am all ears.

"Weary burdened wanderer, there is rest for thee
at the feet of Jesus, in His love so free.
at the feet of Jesus, in His love so free.
Listen to His message, words of life, forever bless.
Oh, thou heavy laden: “Come to Me, come and rest.
Oh, thou heavy laden: “Come to Me, come and rest.
There is freedom, taste and see! Hear the call: “Come to Me.”
Run into His arms of grace, Your burden carried, He will take.
Bring Him all thy burdens, all thy guilt and sin!
Mercy’s door is open, rise up and enter in.
Run into His arms of grace, Your burden carried, He will take.
Bring Him all thy burdens, all thy guilt and sin!
Mercy’s door is open, rise up and enter in.
Jesus there is waiting, patiently for thee.
Hear Him gently calling: “Come all, come to me.”"
Hear Him gently calling: “Come all, come to me.”"
I need Christ I cannot overcome anything or do anything without Him and he wants to take my burdens and my sins and carry them for me and give me rest. He died so that I may live.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28
