Heyoooo

So, Hi again!

I am struggling. I know that I shouldn't be feeling sorry for myself, but I always feel better after I write on my blog, so here it goes. I don't know where to start. 

God wants us to trust Him, but at the same time, we have to put in some of the work as well. 

"God helps those who help themselves." 

I love that quote. It inspires and encourages me. 

At the same time, I regards to wanting a good, healthy relationship, how do I help myself?

First off, I should pray and work on my own insides, making my inner self beautiful. 

But in regards to actually doing something in the social sense, I am a little bit discouraged. 

Don't get me wrong. 

This past year, I've met sooo many new people and have had a lot of great memories- 

from working at a restaurant and also a retail store to being a camp counselor to going to youth group a lot more often, I've met a lot of people overall and had new experiences! 

But the reason I feel discouraged sometimes is that, whenever I start something new, go somewhere, or just do something social, in the back of my mind-and sometimes in the front of my mind- I wonder, hmmmm maybe I'll meet my future husband today!

Which I think is fine, but it's almost too much BECAUSE a part of me always becomes discouraged when I go somewhere and I don't meet a potential Mr. Wonderful. 

I have been trying to be more present lately, mostly because of this health and wellness class I took that was surprisingly helpful lol 

But yeah, I want to be present in the sense that I do not want to dwell and despair about my past mistakes but I also don't want to constantly be worrying about the future. 

There was a quote that I found on accident on Pinterest- best place ever- but it said "God is not going to forget to put the people in your life that are meant to be there". Wow. 

We all need to trust God more, especially me. 

And we can start by praying more deeply and just trusting Him more and more everyday. 

He has and always will be there for us. Just trust Him. 

C'mon. We got this.
