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.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAfROKN9P59V
She thinks that I'm just being all emotional because of the week and that there isn't really any reason to be upset.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAe3TWdF7WC9
I was very angry with her, and finally had to explain it to my sister.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAbUxltuBLs2
I went into her room and told her how I was feeling, and explained to her what I had told my mother.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAmYvHz7NDb5
She's only 15, but she already knew what was going on.
61Please respect copyright.PENANASSDCRLKGFr
She asked if it was because I hadn't been around her enough recently.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAF4bd2IM2aF
I told her no, I told her what I had been doing and it wasn't fair that I was being blamed.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAst6Soqj9mj
I explained to her about how this is a double standard for me because it doesn't affect the girls enough.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAH96EWImrPv
She finally understood, and told me to read the Bible.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAxXjBcG1dIa
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.

When I got back to my room, I opened up to where it always is, near my bed.

The verse that was there, jumped out at me, and it gave me a sense of peace.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAny0HSwMQGV
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.
61Please respect copyright.PENANASiF8I68s20
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAbX08Du3IYQ
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

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.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAZrlMWeQEZ7
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
61Please respect copyright.PENANAtDdEGqc2Qf
I've never thought of it in this way before.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA2fX2ZdyPkU
As soon as I realized that, it made sense to me.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAQizsMqj9y7
I've always thought that I was being watched out for.
