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...

"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness, For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people, For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry, For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day, For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others."
