Let Me Love You

♫ Every now &then, some little thing, I've buried comes bubblin' up. Once in a while, you feel close enough to touch. I miss you a little since you've been gone. A few little memories keep hangin' on.
I miss you a little, I guess you could say..
A little too much, a little too often, a little more every day ♫

Have you ever said goodbye to someone [who means a lot to you] somewhat casually, like you do every day, but it just feels different this time? Like they were just saying "Goodbye" as in "See you later", but deep in you heart you knew YOU were saying a forever goodbye? I hadn't really experienced that before. Until now. And honestly? I have nothing more to say. I'm sad Sarai today. This has been the hardest, most emotional year of my life.

But here's what I learned/realized. I'm still in a huge storm. Things are so hard. But.. There's a season for that. (Ecc. 3)

When things feel so hopeless and sad & it seems like nothing is going right for you.
There's a season for that.
When things feel great and it's like life can't ever get any better than it is now.
There's a season for that.
When you feel as if you're all alone in everything you face, like you have no friends or anyone standing by you.
There's a season for that.
When you feel like you're losing everything that ever meant anything to you. When you feel things are harder than they've ever been &you don't want to be strong anymore?
There's a season for that.

There's a right time for everything. There is a reason for the season you are in right now. It may seem like you have been in the midst of a storm for too long. Believe me, that's how I feel. But I keep telling myself that God is going "keep pushing through it, breakthrough is right around the corner. But you have to keep going."
I know a quote that says something to the effect of: "Sometimes God will let you hit rock bottom so that you will discover that HE is the rock at the bottom". So, don't give up on him. God won't give you more than you can handle. That's a promise.
Speaking of promises. Here's a rainbow for your rainy day.

I get sick of people saying "Things will get better". It's too cliche. I've been hearing that for weeks MONTHS now, and I know that things are maybe getting better somehow, somewhere, but I don't see it yet. And as much as I hate people telling me that...it's true. I don't know when it's going to happen. I don't know how long I have to wait for these better things/days. But I know it's coming. It has to be.

Just a favorite picture of mine. Wanted to bring it back. On a completely unrelated note...
Don't stop love. :) Don't fight it. Love who you love with all that you have, and don't waste the time that flies so fast. Hold on as tight as they'll let you.
You never know when you won't get another opportunity to tell someone how your really feel. To show them how much they really mean to you. Don't waste time. Because there isn't much time left. And if you don't say and do what you want, that regret will eat you up for the rest of your life.
So say it. And mean it with all that's in you. Overuse "I love you".
You won't regret it.

A super true quote from One Tree Hill (I don't watch this show, but I ran across this quote and I loved it)

~Most of our life is a series of images - they pass us by like towns on a highway.
But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image...
We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.~

Have a happy weekend!! Jesus loves you :)

♫ I saw ya yesterday with an old friend
It was the same ole same "how have you been"
Since you been gone my worlds been dark & gray.
You reminded me of brighter days
I hoped you were comin' home to stay.
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today..♫-Kid Rock (a good rainy day song)
