WARNING: This will not be a micro-blog!
I've been thinking a lot lately about how desperately I need Jesus. The scripture that has been coming into my head as of late has to do with how the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. I have felt all these in the last week. I've felt stolen from, by loosing all my joy and peace, I've actually contemplated my real reason for living and am I actually living in it, and the one i feel like is most used is to destroy me. I feel very destroyed. I think this is a really easy attack method for the enemy because I don't always take the word as the actual word of God which I should more often, my Jesus is way more awesome than Satan. He has to flee and leave at the name of Jesus.How often I forget.
This week really wasn't horrible though. I got to see one of my friends from college who was very instrumental in getting me to realize that Christianity was more than a 30 second prayer but a relationship and a lifestyle. She really got me involved in a family which is amazing. I also got to see and spend a little bit of time with Tiffani's mom this weekend which was also amazing! I really do love her and she shows me so much about true love and preferring others over ourselves.
I was finally honest with how I was feeling which is always refreshing and communication really is the key to making relationships successful. Communication isn't just one sided though it's more about really edifying the body and the other person. Each one of us have our own struggles and by sharing them somehow our own personal problems don't seem so big and we see how alike we really are and that often the same tactics are used on just about everyone which shows that they can be overcome.
I need to remember my Jesus is bigger than______ (fill in the blank). He truly is bigger and way more awesome!

Insightful.
What distinct, practical steps do you feel were taken to move from the 'destroyed' to honest and edifying?
(A thoughtful answer would be fantastic! Most of my questions/comments here go unanswered as far as I can tell... )
I think I really just started to believe what people had been telling me. I think I really took the words of wisdom and what I knew my identity is in Christ.
