40.) And we go down...

Feeling: uneasy
So...life is confusing...Well, okay, not life itself...but the things in life... So, let's admit it. I'm not where I should be in my spiritual life. And have I cared much? No. Honestly? I think I gave up. I'm so tired of fighting the devil. I'm tired of feeling guilty when I do wrong. Everytime I get things right, I get knocked back down again. I give up. I surrender. It's easier to give up and let the devil win than to fight him. It's easier to cuss and listen to bad music when I want to. It's easier to be like everyone else. It's obviously harder to go against the grain. Ya dig? Me and Zach have been talking about our spiritual life, and how we are both drifting. I can tell he wants to get things right. And I hate to say this but...I'm not. I don't mean that I enjoy the easy life rather than the hard life. I just mean, I'm tired of fighting the devil when I get right, and I give up. Praying and devotions? It's hard for me. I can't find time to do my devotions...And once I hit the sheets...I'm out and I don't pray much. The devotion book Zach gave me is nice. I like it because it's simple. It'd be easy for me to read a page and think I've accomplished my devos, but if I'm not truly seeking God in my devo's what's the point? Church. I hate going. Not because I hate church itself...I just hate the church I'm in. Yeah, I'm the pianist for the youth choir...but I get nothing out of the services, and if I had my way, I would not be there at all. I don't even know where I would be, or if I'd even be in church..But I WOULD NOT be there. We've basically been to every church in town and there are no good ones. I mean, I'd probably go to Family Tab. I really liked it there. I'm just so worn down with everything. I give up. I'd really like to leave tonight. I don't even know where I'd go, but I'd like to leave. Go anywhere. Some place where no one knows me. I look in the mirror, and I don't even know who I am anymore. Can you tell me? Can you give me the answers to all of this?...I didn't think so. ♥

When I was 16 I convinced myself that I needed a spiritual vacation, so I simply stopped going to church altogether. It was right around this time that I met an alcoholic whom I would later mistake for the love of my life. He was much older than me and changed my views on a lot of things. Here I am going on 21 years old and have not been to church since. Even though we broke up long ago, I'm still on the destructive path he set me on.
What I'm trying to say is don't turn your back on God because the devil will take advantage of the way you are feeling and twist not only your life but yourself into something you no longer recognize.
