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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7WgNYa9OFl
She thinks that I'm just being all emotional because of the week and that there isn't really any reason to be upset.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAm3gtMxndpf
I was very angry with her, and finally had to explain it to my sister.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAlljH13j3FQ
I went into her room and told her how I was feeling, and explained to her what I had told my mother.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAnbLv8Cn4cH
She's only 15, but she already knew what was going on.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAczvnXAoJxG
She asked if it was because I hadn't been around her enough recently.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAnVnep6i0mi
I told her no, I told her what I had been doing and it wasn't fair that I was being blamed.
129Please respect copyright.PENANALG76DSwMfP
I explained to her about how this is a double standard for me because it doesn't affect the girls enough.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzwc26rDPPs
She finally understood, and told me to read the Bible.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAA0HrbsHzC8
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7pLVUjQi1F
When I got back to my room, I opened up to where it always is, near my bed.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAw38IPnuZ4u
The verse that was there, jumped out at me, and it gave me a sense of peace.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgEGEq9tTAS
I went over it and underlined the parts that stood out to me.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAaIZEWm4ppl
"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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGrQYWhr60y
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOBq0onlkOT
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
129Please respect copyright.PENANAqSWij6Gww6
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7eeePQm2Z
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
129Please respect copyright.PENANAqG7wWaGSmG
Luke 9: 23 - 24
129Please respect copyright.PENANAxwvKSVl3Ry
I've never thought of it in this way before.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8CiOC66HIA
As soon as I realized that, it made sense to me.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1uPxsg3mmj
I've always thought that I was being watched out for.
