So the other day I was praying about this.. thing that is going on in my life. I'm still not going to put up the details, but it has to do with matter of the heart. I was praying on what to do about it because I have never really had experience with things such as this. Anyways, I sat in my room with my bible and prayed that I would open up to whatever God wanted me to read and that it would pertain to my issue. I opened to Jeremiah, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with what I was praying about, so I tried again, I landed on Jeremiah, again. and again. So at this point, I decided, Ok, looks like I need to read Jeremiah.
So I snuggled into my bed and began to read. It was an interesting experience to say the least. God was pretty upset and how his people just basically gave him the middle finger, and he would rant and rave about how he was going to destroy them. And at this point I was all over it, "SMITE THEM" the warrior inside me cried. But, then God does the coolest thing. He gives them a chance, and many of them don't take it, but he loves them (and us) so much he gives us another chance. He even sneaks a hint of the coming of Jesus in the book. It made for quite and interesting read.
What I also learned from it, was that I didn't really find anything to help me with my issue, save a verse I'm going to put at the end, but I found out the neat thing, that God sometimes, just wants to hang out with us, and chat with us.

What a cool God. So the verse I was left with to kinda give me some perspective on my issues was
“This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’" -Jeremiah 33:2-3
