I cannot tell you how many times this month alone the world just seems like it has caved in, and you wonder, "God, where are you?"
so many friends and myself included have experienced things this month/are experiencing things that are out of our control.
things that have messed with our plans.
people who are messing with our heads
struggles we never thought we would be dealing with
Maybe you're in a similar season
Honestly, there is a reason why I waited until the last day of October to write and post this, and it's because life has been crazy, and I didn't really want to talk about it.
It's hard to believe: maybe our plans have been altered, but God's plan is hard as stone.
How can that be?
College is not getting easier
things are piling up
my mental health is declining
work is drowning me
my kids are too much for me to handle right now
I wasn't ready to grieve or say goodbye.
How can I trust someone who continues to allow these things to happen to me?
When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.
Isaiah 60:22
Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21
I don't know what you're going through, but I promise you aren't the only one going through something/things that don't make sense.
and that sucks...
but life isn't always what we plan. It is however a part of His plan, and we may not understand "why" right now, but we have to keep going because life goes on, and we are so much more than our circumstances.
your friend,
Lauren
