This morning, I woke up and was in a "daze."

I tried to explain to my mother, and she wasn't really understanding what I was saying.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAPgUYr4unVr
She thinks that I'm just being all emotional because of the week and that there isn't really any reason to be upset.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAJLySXhzYUB
I was very angry with her, and finally had to explain it to my sister.
132Please respect copyright.PENANA4ATDfrqMzW
I went into her room and told her how I was feeling, and explained to her what I had told my mother.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAjiHzTX4ouC
She's only 15, but she already knew what was going on.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAHxz6oMPS8U
She asked if it was because I hadn't been around her enough recently.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAuZwk6Ik3ES
I told her no, I told her what I had been doing and it wasn't fair that I was being blamed.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAVajLz34be7
I explained to her about how this is a double standard for me because it doesn't affect the girls enough.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAyd4UPtR64v
She finally understood, and told me to read the Bible.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAIxPfXGd8ns
She said it has a lot of good quotes that help her, and that I should read it.

I found it in the closet, and got it out.
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2YkQNJoaO8
When I got back to my room, I opened up to where it always is, near my bed.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAQPMEmVVdCW
The verse that was there, jumped out at me, and it gave me a sense of peace.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAI6KWyqTFYI
I went over it and underlined the parts that stood out to me.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAO5oW69va5D
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAl1dKN9gnw1
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAX4Y3DHwsHA
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Hebrews 12: 1 - 2
132Please respect copyright.PENANAKo6BvrRRra
The other verse that stood out to me was the part that says, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAB8xCVTvq7x
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."

Luke 9: 23 - 24
132Please respect copyright.PENANAOUMTnZh41m
I've never thought of it in this way before.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAwKnCYrD0dK
As soon as I realized that, it made sense to me.
132Please respect copyright.PENANAPF0AVqEjGU
I've always thought that I was being watched out for.
