Life

Is it just me or has LIFE just really been hard these past few weeks? I am not one to share much in regards to my PERSONAL life. Yes, I am the type to ask for prayers and I am not afraid to let people know that I am hurting. However, there are certain things that I keep to myself. If I confide in you, you best know that I trust you. These past few weeks LIFE has really hit me. I have faced many challenges and at the current moment I still am. My comfort level, my safe zone and my bubble have completely been in an uproar. I have always looked at life as the glass is half full. It takes A LOT to bring my spirits down. I am not one who is easily angered and I have always been one to wear a smile on my face. These past weeks my emotions have been ALL over the place. One minute I am fine and the next I am balling my eyes out. My place of work has experienced a lot of changes and I have lost several co-workers who mean the world to me. I get that it's just a business, but when someone has been a part of your every day life for nearly seven years, YES it affects you. These people were my go to people. The people who always showed kindness, love, grace, mercy and were always there to lend a helping hand. The kind of people who pray for you...no questions asked. If I am being honest, I really feel like I have been attending a non-stop funeral. I am not saying I will never see these people again, our bonds of friendship are much stronger than that. It's the fact that they were "my" people. I know in this life I will experience many challenges and change is almost always certain. I am always open to change and I can easily adapt, it's just the getting there part that makes it hard. I try to remind myself that things could be much worse. I know that EVERYONE deals with certain storms. I am just hopeful that mine will soon come to end. Work is just one of a million things that I am emotionally dealing with. I know there is light at the end of the tunnel, and I praise God for it! So today, I extend a prayer for all those who are dealing with LIFE at the current moment. I ask that God grant you wisdom and knowledge. I pray for peace for all those hurting. I pray for an abundance of strength. I pray for understanding. I pray for comfort and that the healing process would quickly begin. I pray that we always see beauty in all of life's many storms and I pray that we always come out stronger, bolder and more beautiful because of it. Please God hear our prayer. You already know our hearts. Today and always I pray that we let our FAITH be BIGGER than our fear.
