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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA9XmYwF4JqS
She thinks that I'm just being all emotional because of the week and that there isn't really any reason to be upset.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAojnB1SgPg3
I was very angry with her, and finally had to explain it to my sister.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAAMSme96ID8
I went into her room and told her how I was feeling, and explained to her what I had told my mother.
157Please respect copyright.PENANACwhUzD7tpJ
She's only 15, but she already knew what was going on.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtk7cYIczET
She asked if it was because I hadn't been around her enough recently.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUJX0UgMyGA
I told her no, I told her what I had been doing and it wasn't fair that I was being blamed.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAkN02SzkQFH
I explained to her about how this is a double standard for me because it doesn't affect the girls enough.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAG1PiIcTGYF
She finally understood, and told me to read the Bible.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAk2TitlKVNh
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAeQXd8Su2Qy
When I got back to my room, I opened up to where it always is, near my bed.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAqnVvR9LmTC
The verse that was there, jumped out at me, and it gave me a sense of peace.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAEFe0niLpwl
I went over it and underlined the parts that stood out to me.
157Please respect copyright.PENANACFkvzlOJ64
"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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAGbjMcSRvoh
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA9gc6L1FyLw
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
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ03OHijnM
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAiS81lq5Gj6
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
157Please respect copyright.PENANAOESU2f4Z7d
Luke 9: 23 - 24
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvjGkQDCuF8
I've never thought of it in this way before.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAfHCyMlFoQJ
As soon as I realized that, it made sense to me.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAOWFTGINE3g
I've always thought that I was being watched out for.
