For the times you start to complain

Hey Annie,
Do this when you begin to complain and spiral into self-pity:
Remember God’s grace towards you in Christ - a love so great nothing can compare. Remember that He redeemed you despite your rebellion, he forgave your sins, he gave you the Holy Spirit and he gave you the promise of eternal life.
Remember how God has blessed you immensely with a loving family (both actual and in Christ), best friend (whom I’m ever thankful for) and boyfriend. Remind yourself of God’s faithfulness in your life - how He’s worked in and grown you; the points He has challenged and spoken to you.
Seek God, and ask Him to reveal to you how He is using your pain and suffering for His glory. Recognise that he will, even though it might take a while to realise how.
Remember that this is not forever even though it seems like it will be for now.
Open God’s word!

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.
