You know how sometimes people will let you down? How frustrating it can be when things don't work out the way you hoped it would, especially in tricky things like relationships? It's always nice to rely on people, but as great as people are, they're not reliable. I mean, I'm not trying to sound cynical, but really there is only One we can trust. God will never leave us or forsake us, even when the road is super bumpy. It's always nice to know that there is a back-up plan in case us broken humans just don't work out right.
I remember one instance where things just weren't turning out correctly at all. My mind was screaming at me, saying "This is NOT how things were supposed to go! Make it stop, or QUIT!" One of my friendships was completely tanking and not working at all. But, luckily, my friend and I are extremely stubborn. We got into plenty of...um...discussions, some which were heated, and I have to say, I was very close to just closing the doors and being done with it. My Father helped me out, however, and I am very proud to say that my friend and I are still besties to this day. I remember praying a lot, complaining to God, asking Him why, and asking Him for advice. I remember that the most common phrase I heard a lot of replies from Him, but they all had the same message, "Hold on." I am so happy that I trusted God and held on! But, in the back of my mind, I always knew that when I was in trouble and things weren't going right, I could turn to God and He would give me the expert advice I needed. Well, it's almost my bedtime, and I wanted to read a while before I went to sleep.
