Ever since THE EX called off our Wedding, And i've spoken about it openly, online, You cant imagine the messages/emails people send Me.. People who have been through similar situations, and some even worse. And some people are just writing me out of no where, talking about depression/cutting/bullying and other life issues..
And even though it's a little overwhelming because i dont know all of the right words to say.. Im glad that people are finding trust in me to tell me their stories, and to trust in me, to give them good advice back.
At first i didnt really wanna talk to anyone about anything (especially online) But, turns out, it wasnt such a bad idea... Because people are reaching out to me, not only to help me, but for my help. And that is never a bad thing.
I got an email today from a girl, who made my situation look like nothing. What she's been through lately, Im not even sure i could handle very well, and im pretty sure i could handle alot =/
But anyway's... As i was responding to her letter, my own words, blessed me. And i thought i'd share some of my responce... For those of you who are going through something today, and you dont know what to do, where to turn, how to start, just stop what your doing now, and say the name of Jesus.. You know the Bible say's, your not required to pray with many words, just saying "THE LORDS PRAYER" is good enough. Because God already knows what your needing, and what your about to ask for, and he knows what you need, and what he is going to give you..
In the beginning of my situation, i constantly prayed for what i wanted, GOD I WANT THIS, I WANT THIS, I WANT THIS, AND ID PRAY PRETTY SPECIFICALLY.. FOR WHAT I WANTED.. But when i realized nothing was changing, I realized it isnt what i want.. Or what i "THINK" i want.. It's up to GOD.. And it's up to US to let GOD know, that we want HIS will in our lives, and that we will ask for it, and accept it, and trust in him.
So i learned to pray The Lords Prayer.
Just say "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespassers, and we forgive those who trustpass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil"
(READ MATTHEW 6, the whole chapter, it's really good)
It's that simple... Pray it, and mean it, and trust God, and watch what he will do for you!
Here is some of my reply, i cut out the personel parts that replied to her situation.
Things will get better... With time things do get better.. And eventually, everything will end up okay.. At first i didnt think i was going to survive a second of any of it... I felt trapped in my own mind, and i couldnt escape everything. I was so close to killing myself.. But i knew my better. I kept my eyes on JESUS... Every day, no matter how bad i felt, I Praised God. Even if i didnt feel like it, Even if i didnt feel like i wanted to Praise God.. I DID IT ANYWAY. I would go in my room/bathroom and put on Christian music, i would get on my knees, raise my hands, and Praise God, i would thank him for everything, no matter what it was, even for my heartache i thanked him................. I read my bible every day, i downloaded a ton of bible verse apps on my phone so that constantly i could read his word, and i kept the TV mainly on Christian stations...........
All of that ^ Is the GREATEST decisions i have ever made in my entire life.
God honors your prayers, your thanks, your praise, every little thing you do that gives him any kind of attention/love, he blesses you in return.. Trust me.
It was the worst thing ive ever been through in my life, and by the sounds of it, all of your situations were too........... Dont give up, hold on, stay strong, even when you feel weak, your not, keep your head up, things will get better eventually. They might not be the way they were, but some day, some where, some how, you will find peace, and joy.
I thought it might help someone out there today going through something... Thanks for Reading.. And dont ever, ever, ever give up.

Sooooo Inspiring! If I had these passages last year, from what my mom went through, this would've helped her. A lot! And also when we lost our great grandma. This is amazing. You are amazing. Enough said. You're so strong!

ReplyDeleteAlyssa, your too sweet, i love you!!! And to the anonymous, your FACE is boring :p
ReplyDeleteWhy did he call off the wedding?
ReplyDeleteOhh he had some dumb reasons that didnt make much sense..... Nothing would have ever stopped me from marrying him, no matter what would happen.. I guess he just changed his mind.
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since its been called off have u talked to him/n do u it him got someone else now
ReplyDeleteWhat? I dont really understand your question. And it's been almost two months, Or i guess it has been two months already... I dont know where the time goes anymore.
ReplyDelete^ since he called off the wedding
ReplyDeleteAre you or him seeing anyone else
ReplyDeleteWHAT DO YOU BREAK UP WITH HIM ALL TOGETHER OR DID YOU JUST POSTPONE THE WEDDING TO A LATER DATE???
ReplyDeleteNo, i am not talking to anyone, or seeing anyone.. That's a little ridiculous..
ReplyDeleteI didnt break up, postpone, or call of anything.. That was his decision, not mine.
ReplyDeleteSo he is seeing somebody else?
ReplyDeleteI dont know, Why dont you ask him? Since your so concerned..
ReplyDeleteHe does I heard he does but I was making for sure his hot I heard the girl his got his pretty hot too.
ReplyDeleteWell good for him.
ReplyDeleteAlso... Next time.. Cant you learn how to spell/type/talk? Cant really understand you.
ReplyDeleteCharity, I pray for daily, my prayer is for you to find someone who loves you as much as ur family loves you, someone who will see the greatness in you, your love for the Lord, your kindness, someone who will not set rules, but set you free! To be what God wants you to be! You have been the light of our lives ever since you were born, you make us laugh, cry and think about the things we say that will hurt or help someone. Your family is in awe of you! You are someone we strive to be like! So don't settle for less...Don't let someone tell you what you should be like.....be what the Lord wants you to be! Don't erase this! I love you!
ReplyDeleteYour Mom
.... Actually now that i think about it, Id appreciate it if you wouldnt come on here, and discuss his business, If he has someone new, that is his business, nobody else's. Not mine or Yours.
ReplyDeleteAnd i wish nothing but the best for Him... I love him, and i care about him, and his happiness is important to ME..
So if he has moved on and found someone new, then i pray it's all that it should be and more. But as for you, You might want to consider getting a life of your own..
LMBO MOM, You know me too well ;) (to tell me not to erase it.. lol) DONT WORRY, I WONT ;) I will keep it, because i appreciate it. And thank you. Oh and that comment above ^ wasnt to YOU lol it was to who-ever is talking about that other junk... I love you too Mom....
ReplyDeletei want to purchase a bible, but i always see so many different versions. can you recommend one?
ReplyDeleteWell.. I think it all depends on your age, and how you understand/read things. I would suggest a NEW KING JAMES version, which is just a updated/newer version of a KING JAMES.. Or you can go for the New International Version.. Which breaks things down alot better, and makes things easier to understand.
ReplyDeleteI like NKJ and NIV. I have both, so i read from both. Look around- check out the different versions on biblegateway.com and pick one that your most comfortable with.
thank you! i'm 23, btw. i'll check them out. :)

ReplyDeleteDo you "KNOW" that you spelled *KNOW* wrong? :) No? I didnt think so.. lol Learn the difference, it'll change your life. And i did hear! & Im so happy for him! And i pray nothing but the best for the both of them!
ReplyDeleteAnd also, i dont think him or his wife would appreciate you coming on here talking to his ex girlfriend- You should mind your own business. It's disrespectful.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhh, that's the Charity i remember !
