Frustration
I just don't get it. Sometimes I feel sick inside at home about this whole Movement thing my parents are involved in. They say I act indifferent towards them, like they have leprosy but I try my very hardest to act normal towards them. Sometimes I just get really uncomfortable and it gets awkward. Plus, I'm going through normal changes with parents at the same time. We argue about independence and me being able to make my own choices. but of course they want to try to make the best decision FOR me instead of letting me figure it out on my own. So what if I make a mistake or two along the way? Isn't that how we learn? I overheard my mom talking to someone on the phone today saying, "We don't believe that doing these things saves us, but we believe in doing them because we're saved." I just don't understand that statement. It seems to contradict itself and it just confuses me. It makes me feel weird inside. It sounds prideful I have to say. They make themselves out not to be because "Oh of course that is wrong." But they do think their standards are better than the church and that they're doing things the "RIGHT" way. Is that being hypocritical?? I don't know. I'm frustrated by it all. Sometimes I really, really, really want to move out. And they just don't understand why. Ha.....I wish they could see it. maybe then they wouldn't make life so difficult for me. They're always telling me to do things. Adn when I don't, they make it so I have to do it. Just let me be my own person and make my own decisions!! I am not a child. argghhh.......*sigh* Sometimes I cannot stand to be here and I just need to get out.

I wish I could help you escape for a moment or two, have no worries about home and just be happy. I know you can find that escape in God though, and in Him it would be far better. Yet I wish...
