    I don't know you as well as I'd like to..but I can relate to some of your status messages. It is hard to go with the flow..our lives are going somewhere even in the midst of what seems like nothingness and chaos.

    Sin is natural, we are human-we are flawed by nature and design. You aren't a horrible person because you sin. Don't worry.

    Emotions are hard to handle, hard to grasp, hard to figure out..all you can really do is go for the ride and try to figure them out as you go. You are strong, you can do it. Life is never simple-you just have to remember it could ALWAYS be worse.

    Never let people run over you, you are a human being and worthy of comfort, respect, and love. If you feel kicked, tell someone! The first step to respect is asking for it. If you are judged remember who and what matters. You are beautiful just how you are- imperfections make us beautiful.

    Stay strong my friend.

    Love,
    Karen
