on earth as it is in heaven...

This verse/phrase has been on my mind all day. Today was rough but good. I struggled a little bit during the day with very depressed feelings and wondering..."What is wrong with me?!" But through connections with a few close to me, I was inspired to keep on hoping. I am desperately clinging onto this hope that has kept me going this summer. What am I so afraid of you wonder? Well, I am afraid of failing. I am afraid that I won't make a positive impact on this world...this sin-filled, evil world. That although I aspire to be different that I will fail. And I was on the verge of giving up hope. But then this phrase popped in my head, "on earth as it is in heaven." Are we not the hands and feet of Christ? Aren't we to change the world...use our voice for change? God continues to inspire me to keep going and He has been ever so faithful. This upcoming year is going to be hard but I know that I am on the verge of transformation. God is already working in me and I pray that He continues until He can see His reflection in me...

  1. Isaiah 26 3-4 says, " He will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you."

    Just came away from a week long class on blogs and wikis. Getting the email from church inspired me to come read and pray specifically.
    Be steadfast Arelis this week as you wrap up things at home and begin your journey.
    I am praying!
