I am Alissa Mitchell. I love doing good and I hate doing wrong. I love helping and feeling, I hate hurting and deceiving. It is easy for me to feel discouraged and to feel less than par. It is easy for me to want to be like all of those beautiful girls plastered on billboards and coating the internet. It is easy to see people and want to be them, want to have those great traits, those great friends, those great ideas. Ha. It is oh so easy. I find when I am sucked into this self-destructive tornado, I loose myself for a few brief moments in a facade of what many people consider to be perfection.
But I am simply Alissa.
Alissa Jeannine Mitchell.
I believe life is simple and truth is here.
I believe God is with me.
and with God, I am me.
I wonder what everyone would be like if no one tried to be anyone but them.
I wish everyone could realize who God is. He is not a God to be horribly feared, not a God of Anger. No, the God I know is truly a God of Love and a God who still speaks. He is perfect, and my Best Friend.
Honestly, that reality is open to anyone. God can become your best friend. He wants to. No matter how unrealistic an far-fetched it seems. It is true. He is real. I know He is.
I do not fear death. How could I? When I am returning home to my dear Father, my Best friend, and my unflinching Confidant.
