Disappointment.

It's so easy to trust God when everything is going well, it's so much harder to trust God when you feel so alone moving in a motion with no direction.
That's how I feel right now, lost, misdirected, alone, isolated.
I just keep looking for answers in my life and it's just so hard to trust God when there is no answers, no signs, no direction...
It's just frustrating when every hopeful path leads to a disappointing end.
It doesn't make sense.
My patience is thin, my positive outlook is dwindling...
I just feel so very weak and vulnerable...
A lost soul, looking for answers...
I know I can't see the big picture now;
I know there is more beyond what I can grasp.
I hope that I can look back at this same time next year and laugh at my own discouragement...at my own poor faith...
I know God places us exactly where we belongs.
That he has a purpose for every aspect of our lives...
I just think I need to work more on trusting that he will provide for me just as he should, when he should...
That He will take care of me and only wants the best for me...
But in my honest state, I'm struggling...
oh ye of little faith.

Oh Lord,
Restore my faith.
Help me to trust even in this weakness.

    Every time I feel this way I try to tell myself, "It's time to go exploring!" I know it's so much easier said than done because I feel like I'm in that same situation myself. But I think that the people who face this challenging life situation are the ones who truly end up finding themselves in the end. Don't think of every path to be a disappointment. It's just not the path you were meant to continue on - and the fact that you actually tried is a success story to me. There is no final destination. Life is just one big journey so do your best to enjoy the ride. Don't lose your positive outlook because it's a sure way of losing yourself altogether. I completely feel what you're feeling, so seriously, if you ever want to talk don't ever hesitate to call me :) Love you pretty girl!

  5. Love you. I went through this phase for about 3 years. (Not saying it'll last that long for you.) I am still somewhat in it in certain things, career, etc. BUT, God will slowly start to restore your faith and patience, just be patient. HA! I'm sorry, but honestly, these were my least favorite times, but looking back, I have changed SOOOO much and I have learned MANY lessons from those times that help me NOW, in the smaller, less painful tough times. Text if you need more encouragement or prayer. :) Love you.

    Don't you wish you could just sit down and have a cup of coffee with God? It would make things so much easier, so much more comforting. It's so hard sometimes to still your heart and just listen for Him. Stay strong, stay encouraged. This too shall pass.
