i'm trying to find something to live for. so harmfully caught between living for myself and living for God. i know He is in control but i would like to hold the steering wheel. it's said that man plans his steps but the Lord guides those steps. i can't help but want to be the planner and the guide. i'm not sure if that's wrong of me. i guess it will take time to help me, to enlighten me, to really show me that God is in control. i shall lean not on my own understanding because i'm afraid i don't understand anything at all.                                                           -h.m.r.

i'm currently having a hard time feeling the presence of God. i'm not entirely sure why but i guess this has something to do with that. i just feel numb to Him and it's scaring me that i want to live in my own way. update: (12/1/14): it's been about a year since i wrote this and i still feel the same exact way. i don't know what's wrong with me. when did i lose faith?
