Thinking

I had off today and I did nothing. Right now, I think I just need to write, to think aloud per say. Writing always helps me to be more truthful with myself, and I think that's what I need right now. I feel like I'm searching, but I'm not sure what for. I'm steadily looking sometimes, and perhaps in those moments are when I need to search for God. To have time with Him. I don't have that. I need that. Perhaps this will become a prayer. I feel like my thoughts are just random sentences, not making any sense so I keep writing to piece them together and then perhaps I can understand them. The understanding might come later, when I rediscover this and read it again. I know that I am rambling right now, so anyone reading this probably understands it as much as I do right now, but I need to keep going. I need to move on. That's what I need to do with my life, is move on. I feel that I have gone nowhere, that I have done nothing. What have I accomplished? Nothing. I know that I am blessed and I thank God for that. I know that it is better to build up the kingdom rather be successful on Earth but I don't know how much I've done of that either. I'm not trying to give myself a pity party, I just need to get this out, so I can understand it. So I can move on. Father, I don't know where to go. I want so to feel that I've done something important. That I've been successful at something. I have picked physical therapy assistant as my major right now but I"m not sure if I made the right decision. I know that I've had dreams where I helped someone and I feel that I made the right choice and Father, I know that I can worship you anywhere and bring glory to your name in any postion but Father, I need to move on. I need to grow up. God, I do love me. I love things about me, but there are other things of which I do not like. Father, I feel like such a loser sometimes because I feel that I have done nothing with my life. God, the best thing I could do with it would bring glory to you and I'm not sure if I've done that. I might have done it in the past but what am I doing with it right now? The here. I can't worry about the future since it has not come yet but I just don't know what I"m doing right now. I feel lost and yet know that you are there with me. I just need help, I need help Father. I need your help. Please show me in what direction you want me to go. God, I want to go somewhere where I can bring glory to your name. Father, I do want to build up your Kingdom. Help me to desire you first Father. Help me to love you first, to want to talk to you first. God, I know that I do feel sorry for myself and I feel like I'm runnning out of time. Not so much career wise, but relationship wise. I cried myself to sleep last night, which could have been out of exhaustion but I think our 'fears' come out when we are exhausted and can't think straight. God I want a husband, I want children. I want a family of my own. I know that I do have a family, a big family and I thank you for blessing me with that. Father, I just feel that I'm running out of time to meet someone, to have children when I'm young. Maybe I'm not though. I still feel young even though my age catches up with me. God, I know things happen in your time and not our time, so help me to trust in you Father. To trust you with my heart's desires and know that you've heard me. God, please help me to put more into our relationship than I have been. I constantly take you for granted and yet you still love me. I don't think I will ever figure that out. Maybe I'm not supposed to figure it out. Perhaps I'm just supposed to accept it and praise you for it. God, you're awesome. How wonderful that you want a relationship with me, thank you God. You always make me feel better. God even when I'm ashamed and asking forgiveness for my sins, you make me feel better. Just talking to you makes me feel better and loved. What a wonderful feeling. You know my insides and outsides and love me anyway for I am your creation. How awesome are You. I thank you Father. I thank you for everything, for all the little things you provide throughout the day to let me know that you're here. I think that's a song. "When the suns rises, you are there." I think it is. I'm not sure. God, I started this not knowing what to write and not know where it was going but I love how it always comes back to you, my foundation. While I'm not concentrating on the words that I'm writing, my spirit is focused on you and I know that you have listened. You know, God sometimes its hard for me to understand that you are listening to me. That you do hear what I say and know what I feel but deep down, I know that you do. You tell me everytime I see the seasoning in the sky that you are here, and here for me. Father, while I don't want this moment to end, I know that a moment ending is just the mark of a new beginning. Thank you Father for listening, help me to listen to you now. I love you Lord. My words are spent.

Wanting to write..

The wind blew in her hair as the moon shined overhead. She enjoyed driving at night when the world was a peace; when it was calmer as the chaos from the day slept. The song playing on the radio made her nostalagic. Thinking of a time that wasn't that long ago yet it felt like forever. When she felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest, like her world was ending because for her child it was. Her child had became very ill and the doctors were unsure how long she had. There were moments when she felt so alone and so isolated. She didn't know how she was going to cope without her baby girl. She casted a sideways glance at the man sitting beside her. Her husband. They had went through this situation together, although it didn't always feel that way. When something like this happens, the pain is so much to bear that words are hard to say. And without words being said, it's hard to understand what's going on in someone's head. What they feel in their hearts. So the pain, the frustration, the sadness comes out in anger to the point where you're blaming the other person and no words are spoken. Silence just overcomes and surrounds you when what you want most is to feel the other persons arms surround you. To feel comforted in this bad time and know that everything is going to be okay. But it's hard to assure someone else when you can't assure youself. So the silence builds until you feel like your heart is going to break from it and you cry out to stop the pain. That day, she did cry out. Broke down into uncontrollable sobs when she thought that he had left for work. But fate stepped in and he heard her cry. And he did what came natural to him, what she had wanted from the beginning, what they both needed, he put his arms around her and held her as she cried. His own face was moist as they comforted each other. With their cries breaking the silence, they were able to talk. To say what was in their heads and on their hearts. As they talked, they continued to hold each other, giving each other the strength they had unconsciencously given each other from the beginning but rebuilding it to make it a stronger foundation. Later that day, that had found out that their daughter was going to be ok. Their tears of sadness became tears of joy as they held each other once more.

As the song went on, he looked over at her and read in her eyes what she was thinking. Not saying a word, he simply reached over and grabbed her hand giving it a gentle squeeze. He looked back at the road while keeping their hands intertwined. She smiled at him and turned around to see their daughter asleep in the backseat. The smiled remained there as she looked back at the road. Oh, how she enjoyed driving at night.

Feelings with few words

Do you ever have moments where you don't know where to start and you keep erasing and erasing what you've written? Right now, it's hard for me to begin because I'm feeling so many things that I don't know where to begin. I'm sad because yesterday was my last day of clinic, my last day of being a student rad tech. I'm not sure where to go to from here. I have some ideas, some pieces that might fall in to place, but I don't know if they will.

Yesterday was completely sad and yet I felt loved at the same time. I got hugs and words of encouragement and comfort by the simple holding of my hand by many people. It might sound silly but just the holding of my hand, I knew that these people cared about me. It was obivious when I watched two tears go down Simone's face. I will hold these moments close to my heart as I let my own tears fall. I am a sucker for affection, and to have recieved so much yesterday, especially when I needed it, reminds me of how blessed I am. To even get to know such wonderful people, I feel blessed. I know I get attached to people quickly but they were wonderful people, not only at the hospital but at school too and I just feel so lucky to know them. I'm going to miss them. Miss not seeing them every week. I know deep down I'll be fine and I am fine but what I really want to do is just crawl onto God's lap and just let Him hold me. To have Him squeeze me tight while He rocks me. How comforting is that.

It's weird because I do feel sad, comforted and peace all at the same time. I'm also unsure because I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next. I want to make sure that I go where God wants me to, and yet I haven't asked Him. Is it selffish to want to 'grieve' for a moment and then ask? I just want a hug and then I'll move on. Is that selffish? I don't know. Right now, I know it's getting late and I know I need to go to bed so I can go to work. How strange is it that I feel content and yet unsettled at the same time. God, my only wish that if my life is supposed to be just small journies, that I bring you along so that people can see you. Thank you for everything, good night.
