I don’t want to sound cliche or anything… but Lissie you are not ugly.. by any means. You are beautiful! Christ made you in His image and the smile you radiate is beautiful! You have an inner beauty that is genuine and I can feel Christ in you.. it radiates on the outside… I love you girly! You make me smile and laugh like no one else! I hope that when you get this in the morning that you can smile and remember that you are beautiful and you are a child of God! I can’t wait to see you next Wed! Love you deary!

You know what? I totally agree with you, Lissie. Taking care of yourself should be high on your priority list. You and I both know that it is easy to get burned out when you are always giving, giving, giving to other people. But when you take a break and step out of all the craziness of people and their issues, and just spend time with your Creator, you can be refreshed and ready to be more effective in other people’s lives. I do not think this is selfish at all. In fact after SNA blew apart in March, the Lord told me that I needed to go into hiding…meaning I needed to step out of ministry and focus on God and the things that I need to do to take care of myself like school. A sabatical I suppose. And it has been great so far. I have time to get stuff done, and I don’t feel weighted down by other people’s problems all the time.
So I encourage you to spend time alone with the Lord, spend time taking care of your physical body, and spend time on yourself. It’s just you and God. Nothing else matters.
I don’t know if you’ll read this or not because I know you’re mad at me, but I care about you and I want to help you. So whether you want to accept that or not is your decision. You can me mad at me and the world or whatever, or you can take your focus off of that and focus on Christ. It’s up to you. People are always going to let you down. But Christ never will.

1.) I am not offended. I know I haven’t talked to you in a while. There are a couple reasons for that, the biggest one being that I have had a crazy semester.
2.) Trust God–it is a sunday school answer, but it does have some truth to it. Trusting God, relying on Him, and living in obedience are the only things we can do sometimes in difficult situations. I have a friend who has severe, severe bipolor disorder. As a Christian, she knows it is important to live in obedience by praising God and thanking Him. However, her disorder causes her to be severly depressed. She never feels like praising or thanking God. Usually she just feels like dying.
But God has called us to obedience whether we feel like obeying Him or not. It is a hard thing to do.
3.) Something I learned in Florida is that it is important to live a Fasted life. I’m not just talking about food. This is everything that takes away our focus from the Almighty such as movies, TV, ungodly magazines, ungodly internet etc. When we focus on heavenly things rather than the things of this world, it is amazing how God changes our whole perspective on things. He want’s to renew us daily.
4.) It is important, if possible, for you to step out of the music for a little while. Maybe take a small vacation or retreat. Like for a day or a half a day or something. Go somewhere with just your Bible and notebook, and be with God. I know you have ADD, but I also know that God can help you focus on just Him. It will be amazing what He will reveal to you when you give Him your full attention.
5.) I hope this helps. I do not want to seem like I am looking down on you or telling you what to do or anything. I simply see that you are hurting and I am offering you some advice…things that have worked for me and such. And I will be praying for you if you like.
