I don’t really talk about my faith all that much on my site because NBN is an accepting community and I don’t want anyone to come to this site and leave feeling attacked. So this is fair warning that if the idea of God, spirituality, etc. bothers you then you are more than welcome to click off now as I do not wish to leave anyone feeling “belittled”, “demeaned” or otherwise upset after leaving NBN EVER. Just come back October 5th for the next installment of Mori and have fun with us again! 🙂

I’ve been having some rough days lately. That’s fine. Everyone has rough, down-on-your-luck days. Sometimes we even have a lot of those days in a row.
I’ve been feeling like quitting a lot of things. Quitting on my friends. Maybe even cutting down my hours at work. I just could not figure out how to keep doing everything I was doing! I’m living coffee cup to coffee cup and I got scared that I was missing out on life or going to start messing up my grades (which are all GREAT by the way!). It’s just all gotten a bit too much. That’s okay too. Sometimes it gets a bit too much. That’s not the important part! The important part is that you keep moving. Even if your steps feel small and useless moving forward is still the answer.

So God did this cool thing in my life today. He always has a way of knowing when I’m way too down and out. He knows when I’m running low on hope. He knows when I’m pretty close to giving up. However, He just reminded me that instead of quitting I should be a “God if you’re there come and rescue me” type of person.
If you are having a hard time right now remember that His time is always perfect and you are never on your own.

Someone needed a sign today and here it is!
“Just a little faith, it’ll all get better.”

“Something In The Water”

He said, “I’ve been where you’ve been before.
Down every hallway’s a slamming door.”
No way out, no one to come and save me
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me

Then somebody said what I’m saying to you
Opened my eyes and told me the truth.”
They said, “Just a little faith, it’ll all get better.”
So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I’m changed
And now I’m stronger

There must’ve been something in the water
Oh, there must’ve been something in the water

Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way
Didn’t think about it for a couple of days
Then it hit me like a lightning late one night
I was all out of hope and all out of fight

Couldn’t fight back the tears so I fell on my knees
Saying, “God, if you’re there come and rescue me.”
Felt love pouring down from above
Got washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I’m changed

And now I’m stronger

There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water

And now I’m singing along to amazing grace
Can’t nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thank God almighty, I saw the light
Gonna look ahead, no turning back
Live every day, give it all that I have
Trust in someone bigger than me
Ever since the day that I believed I am changed
And now I’m stronger

There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, yeah

I am changed
Stronger

I’m free

XOXO,
