For the past two years I have had one person that I always turned to.
If ever I was struggling he was always there, able to help.
Even when I had major fears and doubts about certain things,
in the long run he was able to help.
But now...
He's not.
He is out serving the Lord,
being busy,
enjoying himself.
It's good thing.
I'm happy and excited for him.
It's going to be an amazing experience.
But...
I'm not out doing things.
I was left behind.
I feel so alone,
so angry that he could do this to me.
Make me fall in love with him
and
then
just leave.
It hurts.
I've realized that he has been my crutch.
I haven't had to face my fears,
my issues
my dissatifaction with life for the past two years.
He has always been there for me.
If ever I struggled he helped me face those issues.
Now I have to face them on my own.
It's SO hard.
I've been struggling.
It's only been three days.
It'll probably get harder.
This sucks so bad.
But today I realized something.
I'm never satisfied with anything.
When he was here and with me I still wasn't satisfied.
When I'm in class I want to be out of class, doing homework.
When I'm doing homework I want to be watching a movie.
When I'm watching a movie I want to be in class.
When I'm with him I want to be doing things.
When I'm not with him I want to be with him.
I want longer letters,
better grades,
something to do always,
time to relax,
always wanting something different from what I have.
I know it doesn't make a lot of sense. It's something I'm trying my hardest to figure out.
I don't know if I ever will.
But I am going to try.
I am just going to try to be happy with what I'm doing.
Happy with what I have.
Just be happy.
I'm going to try.
I don't have my crutch any more.
I have to try to walk on my own.
Little baby steps.
Of course the Lord is there,
helping,
he always is.
I need to depend on the Lord when I struggle.
With his help I'll take those baby steps,
until one day,
I'll be able to run.
Wow. Great post and good luck! Nice seeing you the other day :D
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Felicia. The Lord never gives up on us.
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful! absolute poetry.... and truth. I can relate, but opposite. When I first moved up here, I had no one. No crutch, no friends, no family. But I had the Lord. I've gotten comfortable. I found friends, I found Brad, your family adopted me. It makes me complacent. I've found I do the same thing, I want to be home, I want to get homework done, I want to move on with life, I want to not have to. In the end it's never easy. Like Pres. Eyring (I think that's who it was) said, you can build up a reservoir, but you need to add to it every day or eventually it won't be sufficient anymore. We are meant to try each and every day. And sometimes it's hard, but in the end it's important. Good luck Felicia, and thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Katie. That means I lot. You are right. It is had. But things will work out. :) I'm glad you are in our family. :)
