im starting to realize that the blessing god promises arent always "good" things or our idea of blessings.
i always assume that a blessing would be God making things easy or the way i want.
but sometimes true blessings, the ones God promises, are just knowing that you can get through. knowing that even though life sucks right now, that you can come out on the other side. sometimes blessings is just knowing that even though everythign around you is falling apart, god is there. he will give strength and comfort.. that you can lean on him and trust that his plan will prevail.
maybe the blessing is just taking comfort in that and holding on to the fact that we are not alone.

rock bottom...
Once you hit rock bottom you realize why you are there.. im just now understanding that when we try to do everything on our own and handle everything and try and make everything perfect all by ourselvess, that eventually we will fail, and everything will come crashing down.
When we place all of ourselves into other people and put them before God we will always end up alone or hurt at one point or another...because people arnt perfect, they make mistakes and failures. So if we live our lives only relying on them, they they will fail us, the same as we will fail them. But if underlying all of those relationships is a relationship with God we will always have constant, we will never hit rock botom because when all else fails he will catch us before we get there. When we look around and dont see anyone to rely on and feel alone he is there.
sometimes it doesn't seem like it because what we want isnt always what he wants but that doesn't mean he isnt there. our idea of perfect isnt always the same as God's. so there are guna be times when life sucks. hearts are broken. life long friendships end. things change. people hurt you. you hurt people. those who are supposed to be there arnt. your exhausted emotionally and physically. everything is falling to pieces. the life you once knew is gone. but i would rather go through all of that with one thing; God. then completely alone. cause thats when we break, sooner or later we cant hold it all together anymore, as much as we want to. God does not promise a perfect and easy life but he does promise comfort and support and strength. its having faith in the one thing that will last and still be when all this other crap in life is long gone. thats what keeps us from hitting rock bottom alone and completely drained...
