It's a part of who I am...

I have a lot of friends that just don't get it... and sometimes it just makes my heart heavy. I really truly feel pain and sorrow and my breath becomes short and it feels like 1000 pounds are sitting on my chest... so... I have to write about it and get it all out.

Everyone has problems.

The difference is in how people handle their problems.

I understand that my faith and my belief in God are key to me being settled. There are promises that I hold on to that come from the Word of God that grant my comfort.

John 16:32-33 (New Living Translation)

³² But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. ³³ I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 (New Living Translation)

¹⁷ This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

Psalm 143:8 (New Living Translation)

 ⁸ Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
      for I am trusting you.
   Show me where to walk,
      for I give myself to you.

The entire story of the Bible calls us to hope. That although there are troubles and sorrows, it's temporary. Although we make mistakes, there's a call for new beginnings. That there is guidance, if we turn ourselves over and follow a loving God.

I really don't know who will read this... if anyone... but I am hoping that if you stumble across this message know that it wasn't by mistake... it wasn't an accident. Although it doesn't make sense, there is a God that loves you and cares for you.

Even though it doesn't make sense, neither do the decisions that you've made up to this point... try something different. I did... it works.
