Life can be so hard emotionally sometimes you guys! Tonight I am sad. There is just so much going around right now that is hard to swallow at times. People I love and care about are hurting. They are hurting in their bodies and in their minds. I am sad for my friends. I am sad for my family. I am sad for those I see struggling. My top spiritual gift is Mercy. I praise God for this gift but at times I don't feel like it's a gift. I hurt when you hurt. I see your tears and I hear your struggles. I am your friend and your family. I am that person that people can always tell anything to and I praise God for it. Tonight it makes me sad. It makes me sad because I love these people. I want to fix their problems and make it all better but I can't. I can't bring back their loved one. I can't take away their sicknesses. I can't fix their bodies. I can't make them stop doing detrimental things. However, I CAN be their person to cry with. I can be their person to tell those worries, fears, concerns, problems to. I can be their FRIEND.
God gives me this special gift and he worked everything into line to help me see it. To help me develop it so I could shine light on Jesus. He is the reason I can sit their patiently listening as a family member comes to me with their concerns. OR when I can cry with a friend. I am sad now, but tomorrow is a new day. All I can do is lay these down at the feet of Jesus. He is my rock when I am sad. He places people in my life that inspire and uplift me. He gave me a wonderful husband who will no doubt hug me if I tell him I need a hug(he doesn't pick up on emotional cues real well so I have to tell him... haha. and I love him for it). He gave me a kid who runs to me with his arms open wide in delight because I have just returned from being gone for a few hours. I say one because the other is choosy when he wants to do this... I think he's getting too "old" for that kind of stuff or maybe that's my excuse because he's never been too big on that. He is too much like his daddy. He gives me a blog to pour my heart into so that maybe I can reach others. As I type this out I can already feel the weight of the day lifting off my chest. Just know that if you're going through things you need to get it out! Let someone help you. Let someone listen to you. Emotional stressors can and will lead to physical complications. Know that you are loved. Not only by me, but God loves you too! He loves you more than you've ever dreamed of being loved. I can't promise that your problems will suddenly disappear, but I can promise you that with Jesus there is hope. Love you, friends. Thank you for "hearing" me out.
