From The First Tear Cried

I love the thought that I've never been alone. Even when I thought I was the most alone a person could get, I never have been. Even during my struggles with many illnesses, family stuff, self doubt - I've never been alone. God has always been there. When I felt so far away from him, actually, he was right there next to me, keeping my head above water; stopping me from going under. 

I think we all have moments, maybe even days, maybe even weeks where we feel alone. It's a natural thing. But one thing I, and a lot of other people in my life, know is that we are never alone. 

All this time, from the first tear cried
'Till today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there, You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time

Ever since that day, it's been clear to me
That no matter what comes, You will never leave
I know You're for me
And You're restoring

Every heartache and failure, every broken dream
You're the God who sees, the God who rescued me.

This song kind of says it all, doesn't it? Everytime this song comes on, it reminds me God is always walking with me. I encourage you to listen to this song today and when you're feeling down or alone. He doesn't desert people, He won't forsake you. Every single moment, he's been there. 

Every single moment in my life has added up to who I am today. Being left out at school, being bullied, struggling with mental and physical illness, feeling inferior; they've all added up to create my story and create who I am. One day I hope to inspire with my story and music because I know what it feels to be left out from the crowd - I know how it feels to feel like everything is always going to be bad... but it won't be. It'll never always be bad and I want to share that with the world one day. 

There's a whole big life outside of school, outside of bullies, outside of illness, outside of pain. It won't last forever. We are made for more than hurting.

Open up your heart today and realise that God has always been with you, even though you felt so alone. Because, trust me, you're never alone when you choose to walk with Jesus.
