Bad thoughts sweep in my head almost everyday, becoming a constant, exhausting battle within me. The world constantly tells me that I am not good, pretty, or successful enough to last in this world. It hurts and stings, and I am tired of hiding a mask behind my emotions, saying I am fine when I am broken. I have been hurt so many times, and I know there will be more to come.
"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is praiseworthy-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things." -Philippians 4:8
I absolutely love this Scripture! Today I am saying "No!" to what the world thinks I am, and hanging on to My Rock, Christ Jesus. I may be a sinner with flaws and failures, but God sees me as something special. I may be broken, but 2,000 years ago He broke His back so that my brokenness would be turned into joy. He loves me so much that He created me so that I could have His Love and experience a whole new mindset with Him. God even loves me so much He created you and I with a purpose to fill. I am so lucky to have the blessings God pours out on us daily. He is so good to us!
To sum it up, I guess I am like a hot air balloon. They are directed by wind, and I am being directed by my Father. I may not know exactly where I am going, but I know God is going to get me there and He will never forsake me on this journey.

I absolutely love this post. I struggle with this on a daily basis but if we keep our eyes on Jesus and trust in Him always then we will beat out bad thoughts. I love you, Julia!
