All my life, I've been told that I was born to shine. And I believed it. But now, I'm not so sure.

What am I to do when I'm lonely? I don't even know what's real and what's not anymore. How will I be myself when the world doesn't accept who I want to be? How will I bear the expectations of all these people, when I can barely bear my own?

God only knows. That's the one thing I'm sure of. He knows what I need and, with Him in my life, I'm never alone.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Nerissa James has lived a sheltered life for as long as she can remember; loving parents, a sister whom she'd die for, best friends who she trusts more than herself and above all, God, her shining light in every moment. She couldn't ask for a better life. But when a change she's ready to accept breaks her sheltered life, everything she thought to be real, turns out to be fake. Wherever she went, pride, ego and jealousy has overtaken the society. In order to be accepted in the world she stepped into, Nerissa has to hide who she really is, from her society, so-called friends, and even God.

Just as she begins to think there's no going back to her old self, a message from her sister along with a song changes her life, making her realize how much she's changed. With God as her guide and with music as her companion; Nerissa sets out to change the views of her society, one step at a time, by being her true self, whether the world accepts her or not.

A Boy Named Jasper {Wattpad Featured Novel} by MidnightRose55

For with God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37) ~~~~~ Jasper is a screwed up kid, yet no one cares enough to find out why. Bruises hide his arms and alcohol stains the walls of his house, but he pushes forward because it's the only thing left for him to do. His days are spent in and out of the school psychologist's office, while his nights are spent in fear of his father. His guitar and the secluded spot by the train tracks where he likes to play are the only saving graces in the hell that is his life. No one disrupted this normal routine until Callie came. Callie is far from screwed up; she doesn't have family issues and doesn't understand the first thing about Jasper's world. Her house is filled with answered prayers and smiles of people who love each other. Her arms are clear and her head is full of optimism that Jasper doesn't buy for a second. She never second guessed her sunny disposition on life until she stumbled upon a boy and his guitar down by the train tracks. Callie and Jasper weren't supposed to cross paths. She wasn't supposed to care and he wasn't supposed to let her get under his skin, but then again opposites weren't supposed to attract either. Callie saw the good in him where most people thought there was none ; she was captivated by Jasper because he made her question everything she knew about the world. She thought it would be easy to teach him that there was still good left in the world, that there was more beyond all the bad he'd become accustomed to. She thought fixing him would be easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy and sometimes it takes more than one girl's overly optimistic persistence to pull a person out of the hell they've been living in; sometimes it takes faith and realizing that some things can't be done without it... ~~~~~ -Highest Ranking: #8 in spiritual, 10/25/17 ; #1 in Christianity, 2019 -Wattpad Featured Novel: 10/19/17

Everything Hurts by analiciapaloma

I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.
