"I don't want to preach to you. I just care too much to let you walk away from this."

The title of my blog today is a quote from lyrics to a song by The Wedding (an amazing band my friends helped me discover as a plump 8th grader..)

I've been faced with a lot of broken hearts this past week. Whether they came to me, or I read a blog of theirs, or what. I feel I need to address some things.

First, I don't wanna preach to you. Every single person I've noticed this week has been extremely wounded by people who SAY TOO MUCH. Christians today think that shoving the Word down your throat is gonna make you feel better. The truth is, they don't use wisdom to guide their hearts into which situation their reactions would be tastefully taken or not. Does that make sense?

Secondly, I care too much to let you walk away from this. Not only do I know that each person I've noticed this week with a broken heart has been hurt, but I also see that no one is showing them that YES, SOMEONE DOES CARE and NO, YOU SHOULDN'T BASE YOUR FAITH ON WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE TO YOU. Just because they're a poor representation of Jesus doesn't mean that following Him with all of your heart would hurt you, too. When really, following Him is the only way you're ever going to feel any better.


Realize that your emotions have nothing to do with your righteousness.
BUT, whatever your relationship with God IS- that's what will be your overflow in your life..
If you're constantly feeding negativity into your life, you're going to reap that also, and vise/versa.

Just because you feel unloved does not mean you aren't.
Just because you feel broken does not mean that there isn't a God who wants to fix you.
Just because you feel unworthy does not mean that Jesus didn't die for you to be saved.


I want to close with something that I totally mean from my heart and don't take anything the wrong way.


My name is Kylie Dragan. I'm a sinner. I screw up. I fall short every single day of my life. BUT I choose to follow Jesus because I want a life of purpose. If that means loving EVERYONE, then I really try to. I can honestly tell you that I care about every one of you reading this. The level of that concern probably has to do with how well I know you. Though, I know that God led you to this blog to read right now because He knows you're hurting. I want you to know I've been there. I've done that. I've felt the way you're feeling right now. Behind the smile I portray is a young woman who really wants the best for you. The only way I'm able to say that honestly is because of the God behind it all. I'm not gonna preach at you if you want to talk. You get enough of that. I just wanna be the shoulder you cry on and the hug that you've been longing for. I wanna be the friend you wish you had. I hope and pray that you believe me.
