Being socially awkward in middle/highschool can really be frustrating because kids are very insensitive and have no morals most of the time. When you’re small and what most people think as of timid you instantly become a target. I remember trying to stay to myself as much as possible and never wanting to be in the spotlight. It wasn’t until highschool I attended games and extra curricular activities other than running track because I was SO terrified of crowds and what people would think of me, how I dressed, how I look etc. Having social anxiety really makes you overthink and be super self conscious.

Today, I am 25 years old and very much so still this way. Social anxiety can only be maintained with medication but not cured and a lot of people misunderstand my personality because of it. It’s so bad to the point where I actually wanted…

A few years ago I made a blog post about being shy and how people usually perceive me in a different light because of social media, but after further research and education, I now know I suffer from really bad social anxiety. Social anxiety is a chronic mental health condition in which social interactions can cause irrational anxiety, fear, self consciousness and embarrassment.

If you have been praying for a miracle, but so far you don’t see any evidence that your answer is coming, this is a word for you.

The answer will come God’s way, provision is coming, expect your miracle and create space for it. You will not see the wind or the rain, but you will have water. The sovereign God will supercede natural ways and norms to provide your miracle.

Isaiah 3:17-18
“For thus says the Lord: “You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain: yet the valley shall be filled with water, so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink. And this is a simple matter in the sight of the Lord….”

Now is the good time to plan and execute your dreams.

Start today, where you are with what you have. When you start small you create a demand for more.

Stop waiting for tomorrow. The time is now.

who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

1 Peter 2:24NKJV

1 Peter 2:24 New Living Translation (NLT)

He personally carried our sins

in his body on the cross

so that we can be dead to sin

and live for what is right.

By his wounds

you are healed.

For he who took sins from the world carrying our sins to death upon the cross and torture of his flesh so that our sins we once carried died that we may have a peaceful, faith filled, righteous life. Healed by his death on the cross and brutal wounds he suffered. Christ took it all so that we may live,love and be filled in faith to our father in heaven. By his stripes you were saved.
