"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you.
i do not give to you as the world gives,
Do not let your heart be troubled,
and do not be afraid"
i volunteered to make graphics for sydney.
this was one of the verses she asked for.
it is amazing and can be used in [my] every-day life.
I started freshman year this week.
ever since then i've been so afraid of showing people the real me, afraid that they would "frosh" me for it (froshing is basically hazing. since it's off school grounds, and not alot of people report them to the principal, they get away with it.)
I have to walk home from school, and today I was so afraid of getting "taped up" (they basically kidnap you, drive you anywhere they want, and duct tape you to a pole. sometimes they strip you) that i called my dad from work to give me a ride so i didn't get taped.
ya know why?
because I was ALLOWING myself to be afraid.
God wasn't MAKING me be afraid,
i was ALLOWING my heart to be troubled & myself to be afraid.
next week i will walk through those halls as myself. actually talking to people. maybe stepping OUT of the cafeteria once for lunch? and i will walk home. by myself. with my head held high. ready to take whatever God throws at me.
it'll only make me stronger.
