Sometimes life hands you things we don't think we can deal with, like un-sweet lemons. We, as humans, take them and throw them away instead of using what we have, like sugar and making lemonade. Life is kinda like this, we're handed terrible situations, and we run instead of asking God for help and adding his wisdom to the situation and making it work.
I'm learning this in my life right now. Some of the recent situations I've been put in absolutely BLOW, and instead of turning to God, I just run or do everything I think I can to fix them, which makes it worse. As a Christian, I know that I can't do anything on my own, one of the most common know bible verses tells us that we can do ALL THINGS through CHRIST who strengthens us. Why do we forget this?
Tonight was a rough night for me as something that I thought was good, ended in my life. It wasn't something that had been going on for a long time, but I thoroughly enjoyed the last few weeks I spent with someone. It's so hard to let someone go, and to tell yourself you are gonna let them go. I am so confused and hurt right now because I honestly don't know what to do. Do you ever just wonder why you're feeling a certain way if it's not supposed to pan out? Like there's some lesson in this whole situation but you don't know what is, yet? It really bothers me, because I've asked my friends why I feel this way if nothing is supposed to happen. They have all told me to teach you something. So what is it? I guess I don't know, but it'll click sometime soon.
I think we have to let people go out of our lives, not because we want to, but that's the only thing left to do. Maybe there is Good in Goodbye. I found a quote that explains that perfectly..
At some point you will
realize that you have done too much for someone, that the only next
possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. Walk away. It's not
like you're giving up, and it's not like you shouldn't try. It's just
that you have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What
is truly yours will eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how
hard you try, will never be.
I'm trying to figure life out, aren't we all? I think it's a slow, slow process. But, I think it'll come together perfectly and I know it'll be God's plan for my life.. Just gotta trust.
Carrie Underwood's new CD came out, and it's amazing! Go check it out, for sure. A song on there kinda relates to this situation, it's called "Good in Goodbye." The lyrics are below. :)
I heard you laughing in a crowd outside a restaurant we used to go to
I caught a glimpse that stopped me in my tracks
It took me back
You looked happy with that little girl on your shoulders, happy
I know where she got those crystal eyes of blue
Time’s been sweet to you
As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn’t get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you’re holding on to someone that you gotta let go
Someday you’ll see the reason why
Sometimes, yeah sometimes, there’s good in goodbye
I don’t regret it
The time we had together
I won’t forget it
But we both ended up where we belong
I guess goodbye made us strong
And yeah I’m happy
I found somebody too who makes me happy
And I knew one day I’ll see you on the street
And it’d be bittersweet
As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn’t get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you’re holding on to someone that you gotta let go
Someday you’ll see the reason why
Sometimes, yeah sometimes, there’s good in goodbye
Yeah, yeah
As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn’t get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you’re holding on to someone that you got to let go
Someday you’ll see the reason why
Yeah someday you’ll see the reason why
There’s good in goodbye, yeah
There’s good in goodbye
Blessed, grateful, and content. God is good, all the time. :)
love always,
