After a couple days on the struggle bus, I'm looking at today like it's brand new. The past is the past, so I can't get hung up on it. God makes all things new. Joy comes each morning, and I need to embrace it.
Now, one last big thing that I must say about everything. Even though a ton of things are going on, somewhere deep down I know that God isn't going to give me any more than I can bear. It's gonna be super difficult, but I need to start trusting Him in all aspects of my life. I'm starting to realize that if I finally go all in, then He will help me out of this pit called life. Guess who else was stuck in a pit? Joseph was in an actual pit! But, he trusted God and got out of it. Such a simple thing, yet so hard to stick with it. Joseph had so many opportunities that he could have taken to just turn away from God and stop praising Him, but he didn't. He stayed faithful in the Lord despite all of the trials that were happening in his life.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your hear and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." It's so hard to trust, though. I have been betrayed so much that trust is so foreign. Kinda sucks. But, I know that I can get through this. Trust and faith seem to go hand in hand. In order to have faith in someone, you should know that you can trust them. Same goes for God. If I start to trust Him, I can start to have complete faith in Him.
To top this off, I would like to say one more thing: Don't give up. Ever. I say that as a general statement, but more so as encouragement to myself. You're going to make it. Stick with it, and everything will turn out in the end. Maybe not the way you planned, but the way the God planned.
Keep Calm and Be Strong!
