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.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA1IbhF4dAe8
She thinks that I'm just being all emotional because of the week and that there isn't really any reason to be upset.
123Please respect copyright.PENANACiy6Lk5d93
I was very angry with her, and finally had to explain it to my sister.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA5uUMEWr1aV
I went into her room and told her how I was feeling, and explained to her what I had told my mother.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA3q5p9nIwp6
She's only 15, but she already knew what was going on.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAhBZP9CfpFa
She asked if it was because I hadn't been around her enough recently.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA6w2Kyp1RwE
I told her no, I told her what I had been doing and it wasn't fair that I was being blamed.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAYA55uEJENc
I explained to her about how this is a double standard for me because it doesn't affect the girls enough.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAUE2bIpIAqO
She finally understood, and told me to read the Bible.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAsAYqZdPAnp
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.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAg1dZ8hbZxB
When I got back to my room, I opened up to where it always is, near my bed.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1hgU6rWlX
The verse that was there, jumped out at me, and it gave me a sense of peace.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAb7GOuY8rtq
I went over it and underlined the parts that stood out to me.

"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.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA5HMRx26V1s
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAkk4y3Tq0mR
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
123Please respect copyright.PENANAubSLSjvvd5
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.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAYGfMhe5nhC
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
123Please respect copyright.PENANArIv85D0nsT
I've never thought of it in this way before.
123Please respect copyright.PENANASLg8L4cKXK
As soon as I realized that, it made sense to me.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAWRLK5yI6KZ
I've always thought that I was being watched out for.
