Experiences

There are experiences that happen to us throughout our lives that seem to never really…

go away.

Those experiences are usually full of heartbreak and pain, and can affect how we live or how we allow others into our lives. Or don’t.

I’ve had some of those. More than I care to recall or really talk about. There have been very few people I have shared some of these experiences with. Only one to whom I showed the true emotion behind the story. I was grateful that what I shared was not dismissed.

It can, in those times, be impossible to deal with the things that affect us so deeply, especially when we feel alone. Sometimes it feels like God just isn’t enough, like talking to Him about the problem or emotions never really make it better.

God IS enough, and He DOES make it easier, with time. We all know the answers God gives, even when the answers we seek are generally not the ones we want, or they don’t come when we ask for them.

It helps to remember that God is all knowing, and will provide for us. He does know what is best, even if it doesn’t feel like it to us at that moment.

“There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.” –Washington Irving
