This one goes out to all of you lovely ladies out there - and by lovely ladies I mean each and every one of you ladies out there that are reading this right now, for I believe and know that each of you are beautiful and I know God thinks you are beautiful too! 
Every so often, we go through times in our lives where we feel like we've hit rock bottom, or at least close to that. Break ups with your boyfriends, a dissagreement that you've had with your girl friend, family life isn't going all that great, or life just seems totally against you. Our automatic reaction, and ladies don't deny this, but we all turn to food for comfort. Had a rough day? Well, the #1 comfort for that is chocolate or ice cream. Instead of running to God, we automatically turn to the worldly things for comfort. But God wants you to come to him.
We may feel like these worldly things are the solutions to our problems, but really they aren't. They just make life seem a bit better for a split second, while you enjoy some sort of snack. I've done it so many times too.
What I've noticed, though, is that the one that we really need to turn to during these times is God. He is the ultimate comforter, and, as weird as it might sound, the ultimate comfort food. Feeling awful? Run to him and go and enjoy some of the Bread of Life. Dig into what God has to say through is word, and savor the verses that you find. In fact, in Proverbs it says " Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." ~ Proverbs 16:24
Recently, I was having a really rough day. The morning had gone alright, but then the rest of the day just felt like a downhill slope. My monthly visitor - ladies, you know what I mean - came that day, and I was just having a rough day with school. I was so relaxed for most of it, and then I suddenly realized that I was soon to begin social studies. After that, I was just thrown into a panic. I couldn't focus on anything, and I was just so stressed out. Eventually, I just started to cry and my mom talked me through it. But, the rest of my day still sucked. I just felt so lowsy, and so eventually I just walked away from my desk and sat by my bed and read my Bible. It wasn't anything specific, but just reading the Word calmed me down a lot until I was eventually able to cope with all that was going on. It was SO cool! Then only a few days ago, I went to have a meeting with my math teacher. I admit that I was a bit nervous. I knew what he was like, and I knew that he was a really nice person, just from the conversations I'd had with him online. But, that went REALLY well. It was awesome, and I loved finally meeting my teachers in person! (my math teacher, english teacher, and my socials teacher) They were all super nice! So that was good and the meeting went well too. Then afterwards, my mom took me to McDonalds for a late secondish lunch. It was SO tasty, and then I was reminising about the week I'd had and about this journal entry, which I've been working on for a while. And then suddenly I thought, God is like comfort food. He's known as the Bread of Life, so why don't we take that into context? Finally that name for God made sense. No matter what you're feeling or what situation you are in, God is the ultimate comforter. Reading his word is food for our souls, and his ''food'' is the ultimate comfort food. He's called the Bread of Life because he feeds our souls, spirit, and body. And, he comforts us in a way that no one else can. So, the next time you are feeling lowsy, instead of grabbing cookies or some sort of snack food take a few moments to read the Word. I promise you that you'll feel so much better after you do. :)
