Sometimes, the greatest comfort in life, when you're down, and crying, is not a perky friend who says, "It'll be okay, eventually," to try to comfort you... but it's the friend who comes to you, with tears in his/her eyes, and says, "Let me cry with you. We'll get through this together," that truly soothes a person's breaking soul. It's not always about strong, protective arms to run to, but it's about an understanding soul to grow with in strength, faith, hope, and love.
I find comfort in the arms of one who I can cry with... I hope you find that someone too. :)
Happy New Year!! :D

A Breaking Heart...
If you think your heart is breaking, run to the great Craftsman for protection and healing...
If you think your heart is breaking, don't think you have to be strong, because tears aren't a sign of weakness, they're a sign of healing....
If you think your heart is breaking, don't think that your best friend will be able to comfort you past, "Things will get better," because, as much as they may care, they haven't been in your shoes...
If you think your heart is breaking, don't try to ignore it, because that will just kill you. Embrace the heartache...
If you think your heart is breaking, go do something for someone who is hurting greater than yourself...
If your heart is broken, buckle up for a bumpy ride, but never ask to get off the ride! :) <3

Are You Really Single?
It's been awhile since I've been able to post, but I'll take the time to XPress my feelings after speaking to a youth group this afternoon.
So much of who we determine ourselves to be is based on status, who we are and what we do, but what of who's we are?? Have we ever stopped to think that that might be what really counts? It is a pleasure to be able to speak with other kids etc., but the thing I'm most grateful for, is Him using me to speak. Little of what I say are my words, but even my words are His! It is so comforting to hear Him speak through me, so funny to hear my own words lecture myself! Ha, ha! To think that such a thing is possible!! The joy I have found in belonging to Him is one I will never be able to XPress! He is Love, He is Life, He is everything that lasts in eternity!! No man (or woman) can compete with that! There's no greater gift than this, "that He lay down His life for a friend". Christ's life is the greatest XPression of love! What a gift! I am so in love with Him! It's a comfort to know that I am 'taken', that I am 'in a relationship', and that I am 'in love'! Not in the world's view of love, but I Christ's view of love! There can be no greater gift than this satisfaction of being loved eternally and unconditionally!
If you are a teen reading this, know that I'm in the same boat as you are. Millions of teens all over the world are facing trials and temptations at this moment, but it is how we react to those situations that makes us different. You can set goals, make a plan, stick to that plan, but keep Him by your side through it all and you will not fail. You will prevail, and we will walk together in His presence in the end. Love your life, find the joy of your "Now", look to your "Tomorrow" as a gift from God, but look to your "Today" as your gift to God! You are His beloved... don't forget it!
Peace-Love-Christ,
Clay
