Have you ever thought where did I ever go wrong? I followed the directions given to me word from word. I bubbled in the right answers. I passed every test and it still feels like I’am sinking in my adult life when I should be prospering. Not a great career or shaky finances. Jesus never promises life will be easy, yet He will give us clarity the minute, even us struggling twenty somethings, humble ourselves and ask for His help.
Has your desperate prayers and questions to God ever passed unanswered? Being on the mountainside, and only hearing your echo plays tricks on the mind.

Take a read, and see if yourself, and whatever you do, don’t give up!

Let me tell you, I been on the mountaintop facing God’s presence to walking for years in the darkest valleys. Self doubt has plagued my steps and for a while I completely stopped writing, dreaming, drawing and everything I loved, because I believed in lies, rather than seeing the power and beauty lying within. Inspire them! Tell them! Show them! I rather write to you my journey in creating A Meeting at the Well and my growth, than show off, don’t you think its time for you to overcome self doubt as well?
Rat race. The whole world can be compared to a large group of mice, set in a maze forced to race against each other, to win the cheese at the end. No matter how you look at it, there is always going to be way more losers than winners in this game of life, and unfortunately this is how the natural world is designed.
