Bleach it

I just ran into some things that I could have done without knowing... ever. I want to erase it from my memory just like i erased it from existence... but it's stuck in my head now. I couldn't have avoided it even if I tried and I guess it's just one more of those things that's trying it's best to tear me away from all that I hold true to... *sigh* it sucks, but no. I'm not about to lean on anything else - negative or positive - to uphold me when life goes awry. My God is more than enough to do that, without a bit of help. I'm day by day figuring out how to maneuver through this life better, and I'm working hard on keeping my priorities straight. As long as I've had the desire to grow in this relationship with my savior, he's given me the opportunities - hard ones, ones I failed at alot - to trust and rely more on him. I can't do life without him and I'm not going to try.
The only way I want to look at people in my life is this, seeing them as God's creations who need to constantly be getting closer to him. It doesn't matter if they know him or not, that just makes it my job to let them know.
I put too much stock in humans often times, I know I'll always have issues with that but I want to at least be able to look in my life and see that I'm doing my best possible to put all of my stock in God. I can't wait to see all of the people that are in, and will show up in my life and be so filled with a Christ minded attitude that I can be built up by them and be able to build on them right back. Because we're not building with our own strength or goodness... but with the strength and grace and love that God works through us.
This life will every day... or at least every week, throw junk at us that's only meant to tear us. But if we run straight to Jesus with it... he will be the one to hold us close to himself, God. And we can really know his freedom.

I know this was probably all slightly a.d.d. but It's the way my head chose to work tonight.
