Okay today I've just been really really upset. I'm in a pretty dry spot with God and I'm not used to that. I've grown up in church and I've never really had a dry spell, until about two weeks ago. So today I got home from Virginia and when my plans got cancelled I went upstairs and read my bible some more. I was just really confused and I started crying. I rarely cry. So in my confusion I got frustrated with God and decided to call it quits for the night. That was a mistake, and I obviously knew that. if I want to get closer to God you spend time with Him. You don't get mad and walk away, but I did. So I got on Facebook, the only social media I'm not fasting, and I'm not sure why. I never get on there, and I'm not really sure what I was looking for. But God had something for me. I scrolled through my news feed and saw a post from my friend Josh that said "Jesus Christ did his most hell-defying, God-honoring work when he was feeling absolutely deserted by God the father. Don't give up!" So even when you don't feel him, God's still there and working through you.

It's amazing how much better you feel in the confidence of Christ!
