Walking through the valley

Ever experienced rough times in your life? Ever wondered how to get through the storm? Me too. What a feeling it is to experience a tragedy for someone you loved more than life itself. Or what a feeling it is to watch parents divorce after years of marriage. Or maybe.. what a feeling it is to struggle with things in your life that you are addicted to. How about cancer... what a battle. At some point or another we all go through the valley. How do you deal with it? In my experience, I went off the deep end after the death of my boyfriend. My life was consumed of things I have stood against since I was old enough to understand what they were. I turned my back on God and everything else around me because I didnt care anymore. What was the point? I was angry. My life was fine and content and I could not understand the bigger picture.

Most people do not ever see the bigger picture when they are surrounded by their own pain because it is hard to. However, God SEES the bigger picture. Every trial that is presented is another way for God to grab your attention and your trust to lead you through it all. I have learned that hard times are a part of life. What am I gonna do when I am faced with it? I will take my pain to the one who shares it, feels it, absorbs it, and most of all understands it. Nothing is too big for God. Yeah... life is gonna knock you down sometimes but God will be there for you to fall on his lap.


Now, today I sit and wonder why things happen the way they do. It's a question I dont think I will ever find the true answer to. I just know that things are going to happen. People will come into your life for a time and a purpose and then they will exit stage left just like that. But my trust is in God the father because he controls it all and he knows it all.
