So i was thinking the other day about EVERYTHING going on in my life...for those of you who know...there's quite a bit... i was wondering how i was going to get through this season. This SEASON of loneliness, hurt, wondering, questioning...it gets CONFUSING and sometimes it feels as if this season won't pass... then i thought about every other season like this that i've passed...and i remembered my FAITHFUL almighty God. The one who never leaves nor forsakes me. I went back and read a comment left by Nick Allen on a previous post and realized that my God is the only way to get through this because it is his PERFECT will that i'm in right now and whether it makes sense to me or not, i at least know i'm in God's plan and in his hands...the hands of the creator of this universe. I was once asked by a close friend, if i felt BROKEN-HEARTED...to that question i responded that i felt that i was broken-hearted...then he TENDERLY reminded me of God's promise that no matter how alone i felt, God is close to the broken hearted.... then i remembered this past week...about my FRIENDS...there is no person as blessed as I am with the friends I have. My friends have been my SHOULDER to cry on, my late night very unexpected TALKS, a LAUGH when i needed it the most, a piece of Godly ADVICE, just a friend to go SHOPPING with to get my mind off of things....all these things as small as they seemed to them, were HUGE to me. All of you have helped get me through this season...and even though i'm still going through this season, it too shall pass like every other seemingly never-ending season...for this i'm ETERNALLY grateful to each and every one of you!
