"Quiet, Be still"

Mark 4:35-41: One of the passages that have impacted me the most emotionally.
In a way, I'm very similar to the disciples. It's not that I have no faith, but rather, I have a lack of trust. (Essentially the same thing huh?) I mean, I have faith in the fact that God sent His one and only son down to die, atoning for our sins. But, somehow I never seem to feel Him holding me as I walk this path. I trust that He is, don't get me wrong. (This is full of contradictions, I'm aware.)
But I feel like I'm walking without direction.
Maybe I'm just not listening to His guidance.
Maybe my heart isn't quiet enough, I'm not patient enough to wait for him to speak to me.
And I know, I only have myself to blame for this lack of trust.
He's there for me, I'm sure. I just haven't let Him find me.
"Quiet, be still"
"Why are you so afraid. Do you still have no faith?"

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.
