Hope.

Earlier today I felt overwhelmed, lost, alone, and stressed. Stressed about school, my future, the people around me, and the people that are special to me. I had to just walk away from school for a while to get some fresh air. As I walked downtown I felt especially sad despite the nice day. I need a quiet place where I could relax and be alone. I walked by a church near campus, went in and found an empty room with no people around. I sat and tried to pray but couldnt, the only thing I could do was cry, I felt horrible because of all the things going on around me, my doubts and worries. Once I got it out of my system, I was able to pray and asked for Gods help. I felt Him telling me to stop being sad and get back up so I did. I went back to school, and He helped me get everything done that I needed to. I started to feel better about my day and the people around me. He gave me a gift in the form of a call from someone very close to me that cheered me up even more. God provided emotional support for me throughout the rest of my day and I wanted to thank Him. Through Him we are able to get the strength we need to press on past our obstacles and short comings. He uses the events in our life to bring us closer to Him and for that I am truly grateful.
