Building up, higher and higher

"But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit;" Jude 1:20 (AMP). This is my verse for today. We want to know how to get through life. How to get through all the struggles and trials we go through. We build up. We grow in our Savior. We learn from Him. We build up strength in Him. Just like I want to work out, I need to work out and do strength training for my faith. Bro. Frank always says that faith is a muscle. If you quit using it, it gets weak. If you work it out, if you exercise it daily, it becomes stronger. When have to keep building, even when it feels unbearable. When we feel that way, we have to remember we have Jesus! When life gets us down, we have to build back up. We gotta be strong in our Savior.

Yesterday was a good/bad day! Haha.... it started off really bad.
I woke up late and got off schedule, I had tons of stuff to do, and I was still shaky with the weight gain from Tuesday. I think it just all came out yesterday morning. My perfection and OCD kicked in and I turned to Twister. I gave in a little, but then got back on track. I went to work, and then I went to Thirty.One, where I spoke! I was so nervous!!!! But it went good...I kind of felt hypocritical, but I spoke to myself. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to speak again!!!! Can you believe it? Me wanting to speak in front of people!!!! I actually even gave my testimony, so everyone there now knows about my Ed. A lot of them already knew, but it felt good to just get things out in the open.
Today has started off better...I'm still stressing with school. It's just not going well :/
