Mainly been doing school, but been going through some emotional stuff too. To any readers who deal with self-hatred, please, please remember that you are forgiven. You are loved. You are a child of God. Seriously, you are not Jesus, so quit hating yourself for not being perfect. God really does forgive you when you mess up, so when you don&#8217;t forgive yourself that&#8217;s almost like saying Jesus dying for your sins on the cross is good enough for God but not you. So please. Don&#8217;t hate yourself. Look in the mirror and say, &#8220;God made me. I am beautiful. I am loved.\u00a0 I am a mess, yes, but a beautiful mess because God is in me. Working on me. Turning me into His masterpiece.&#8221; Now time for me to take my own advice. I know that it is hard when what people expect of you because you are a Christian is not a reality, and you are trying as hard as you can to make it a reality. Like having the right opinions of yourself, as a Child of God. It really stinks to know all the answers and be able to fully believe them about anyone else but yourself. For over two years now, since a little before I gave my life to God, I have been dealing with some really intense self-hatred. Now it hasn&#8217;t been too much of a problem most of the time, I mean, it wasn&#8217;t right, but it wasn&#8217;t wrong to the point of me thinking I needed to actually reach out and get help. Recently it&#8217;s gotten worse. But that&#8217;s not the point! The point is that I know, with everything that I am that God is going to pull me out of here. That He is going to take this and turn it into a wonderful part of my story. My story, written by God. When you read a good book you don&#8217;t tribute it&#8217;s goodness to the charectars, but the the author, who wrote the story in the first place. I pray with all that I am that when people look at my life, they give the credit to the Author of my life, my Almighty Father and King. You know God is amazing, and I love Him with all I am. He is going to teach me how to have a healthy love for myself so that I can truly embrace and help others. God is good. All of the time. I firmly believe that, and hope that you do too. But yeah, that&#8217;s kind of where I am, emotionally. Trying to get out of this rut and then hating myself for being in it in the first place. Then I hate myself for hating myself. Ironic, is it not? Anyways. God&#8217;s got this. He&#8217;s amazing, I love Him, and He&#8217;s got this. Hope that you have a great day! Truly, hope that I can bring joy and inspiration to your life because of God the Father in me! That&#8217;s my only purpose in life, after all, is to help people see God in me and want to come to Him and live for Him! He is eternally amazing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>-Aubrey Carr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys! Thought I&#8217;d give y&#8217;all a quick life update.
