Find your sunshine in the midst of the rain.

It has been raining all day here outside. Ive also felt like its been storming on the inside of me this week. Life gets a little bit crazy sometimes, and its hard to tell whats up from whats down. The hardest thing for me is controlling my emotions. Alot easier said than done. If you didnt already know this I am in the middle of starting a non profit to fight human trafficking. I have a great team behind me, dont get me wrong, I just often feel alone and overwhelmed in this journey. As if being an 18 year old working college kid wasnt hard enough, Ive added  the adult stress of running a corparation. We havent even launched yet, and I can already hear the devil in the back of my mind going "Just give up already!" Looking at all the paperwork makes me break down, and looking at what its gonna cost me makes me want to cry. So I guess I can say what I am struggling with the most is TRUST. Thats no big suprise for people who know about my past. How does a teenager with so much hurt, learn to trust again? GOD. How does someone go from wanting to die because they feel worthless, to wanting to change the world because they feel empowered? GOD. Its the easy answer. But what do you do when you struggle to trust God with what He is doing? How do you make yourself believe that he has the power to make the dream He put inside you come true? It takes alot of work. One day Im going to change the world through the power of God, and there is no better dream than that.
