I think we all go through those seasons that you are in right now. It seems to be how God grows me sometimes, to leave me with a sense of "out on my own." However, I want to encourage you to not lose hope. I am praying that his season that you are in right now will allow you to experience a greater sense of God's purpose and His power!

"I believed He had the ability to save me, but He couldn’t change me." Actually, I'm kind of at the point where I feel it's not that he can't change me but He's not going to do it. Stupid, yeah...I know. It's just hard to talk about it because it's incredibly selfish to say "I feel like I'm out on my own right now." It's just hard to focus on sending the message that Jesus can change you to others when you don't feel it much yourself. Thanks for the encouragement. It's appreciated!
