Diary Entry: Patience, Battles, and Walking with Jesus..
Dear Jesus,
Today has been a day of introspection and realization about the nature of patience, especially when it feels like the world owes us something. It’s hard to remain patient when you’re constantly battling the urge to give up, tricking yourself into thinking that your dreams and aspirations won’t materialize.
But in these moments of doubt, I’ve come to recognize that there are forces out there that seem to thrive on our fears and uncertainties. Interestingly, acknowledging these forces has given me a strange kind of fuel, a renewed drive to persist, to remain patient, and to keep moving forward.
Life is indeed fleeting, and in this short span, Your presence, Jesus, has been a constant source of strength. You walk and pace with me, guiding me through each step. Sometimes I wonder if this journey, with its ups and downs, is a sign that we’re transcending beyond our known limits. Amidst my worries about not making it, especially when I see others apparently flourishing, our private chats reveal a universal truth — we’re all navigating similar struggles.
Today, I’ve been fighting my own battles. Waking up to the nightmare that is fidelity issues, it’s been scary, J. Yet, in this fear, there’s a sense of being exactly where I need to be. My loved ones are close, and in that, there’s comfort and strength.
I know we’re in this together, but, oh, it’s daunting at times. This weekend, I’m set to work hard — not in a grueling way, but in a manner that’s focused on spreading love and blessings. It’s about filling the soul, about being a vessel of Your love and peace.
We definitely got this, Jesus. With You by my side, every challenge becomes a stepping stone, every fear a chance to grow stronger in faith. Here’s to patience, to fighting our battles with grace, and to walking this path with unwavering hope and love.
Love,
Jamie 🙏💕✨
