Anissa- Blog #2

I don't even know where to start about describing this past week. I have not been focused at all on this dress campaign. I've been so caught up in other stresses about myself that I haven't had time to think about the importance of this dress campaign.

Tonight in bible study we focused on Matthew 9:9. It talks about how the pharisees questioned Jesus about helping the sinners and the poor. But Jesus says that He has not called the righteous but the sinners. This made me feel so convicted because of all of these past struggles that I have been dealing with. Actually I haven't been dealing with them at all. I thought I was strong enough to not rely on God, but the truth is I don't have strength at all without Jesus. I need to realize that no matter what I am never going to be righteous, but that doesn't give me an excuse to not try to be righteous. As humans we will always fall short of the glory of God, but we still need to try. I have not been glorifying Him. I've been selfish and I thought I could heal on my own. Life is never going to be perfect, but I need to work harder being the person God wants me to be so perhaps my next life will be perfect. 

The truth is, we all need to rely on God. Just like the girls in sex trafficking. They never have any hope besides God's light and really that is the only thing any of us need. All we need is God. All I need is God. And I need to start living like it.
