So, since yesterday I kind of vented on here...at least what I was willing to say and let certain people see...I decided that today that I'd write my strategy to getting past what I was talking about.
I did want to...correct...something from that issue though. I said I wasn't going to try anymore. But, the truth is that I am. I'm just giving it time...either it will fix, or I will move on from it.
Anyways...
I'm not one to push faith on anyone, but it does help me get through some hard stuff. So, forgive me for offending anyone, but hear me out.
I feel like if you want to move past anything hard in life you have to find some sort of peace. And it's really hard to push past the bad and find the peace in something. And so, as I sat and thought the only peace I could come to was that there was a reason that this was happening. Stuff just doesn't happen without some kind of reason when it comes to God.
And, like theres a reason...theres a plan.
""For I know the plans I have for you," Declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and NOT to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.""
And so, as it clearly says - The plan is not to harm you. It is to give you hope(definition in issue "Hope & Persistance) and a future.
So, what I'm saying is that what is going on in this situation I'm dealing with:
1. Has a purpose. Is happening for a reason even though I don't know the reason and even though it is EXTREMELY hard.
-And-
2. Is for my good even though it seems to be doing nothing but tearing me apart.
I think maybe that's the funny & ironic thing about God. He uses hard things to do good for us.
