Hey guys!! I wanted to check in do a quick post!! I’ve had so much going on lately but this thought has been lingering in my spirit for some time now…The thought of “Running Away From Yourself” Lets just right in 🙂
As great as life can be, sometimes it can throw circumstances your way that can take your breath away, break your heart and leave you in a state of shock. Life can leave you with broken pieces and have you wondering how you got there. In the midst of confusion, sometimes I feel that the best thing (besides praying) would be for me to “get away.” Sometimes I feel like 2-3 month sabbatical from everything would be just what I need. If only I could get away to free my mind and get through whatever it is that I may be going through.
My oldest brother told me something that I won’t forget. He said, “You can never run away from your thoughts but you can do things to give yourself a break mentally.” In other words, you can do things that you enjoy and that “free your mind” from what you are currently facing and dealing with. My follow up question to him was, “But what happens when you complete what you enjoy and you are right back where you started?; with your thoughts, hurt and stress?” He said told me that all things change with time and that my situation would not always be the way that it is. Hmmm……so one major key is time.
Oddly enough, sometimes we feel that we don’t have time. When you are going through something, you want it to end immediately, especially issues with the heart. Let your heart get broken by someone you truly love and see how quickly you want that heartache to end. Heartache is one of the most painful aches you will ever experience; trust me, I know.
But, we must be hopeful that God has a plan and a purpose for us no matter how much it feels like he does not have a plan. He hears our prayers and knows when we cry. We must be encouraged that no matter what we go through, we will come out better! Always keep your head up and continue to pray; I can’t say this enough.
Jesus is Love,
