Faith through the Storms

I know it has been a few weeks since I last wrote a blog. I am really sorry. I have had so much going on these last couple weeks that I had to put a few things aside. I think what this entry is going to be about is you. I want to tell you a story about me first.
I have honestly been the lowest I have ever felt since being away from home. It's been really tough because I just wanted my family by my side. I was lonely. See, I was leaning on something that I now know I can never have. This thing was so much a desire of my heart that I let it get more attention than my God. I leaned so much on it that when this thing realized it was tired of me, I fell to the ground. And I fell hard. I begged for it to come back. I struggled to get through my days and thought my life couldn't get any better. I didn't realized that Someone was right behind me, ready to help me get up.
I had a friend tell me that I needed to get out of my pity party and realize that God was waiting for me to call on Him. I was scared at first but then realized that He would still love me for ditching Him. Father still loves me enough to pick up the broken, nasty pieces of my heart and make them beautiful again. He cared enough to bring me up in His arms and tell me "It's going to be ok." He knows that my heart is broken but He can fix it. God has done so much more than I or anyone else could have ever done for me. Even though I put Him second on my list He still showed compassion on me. He promised me He would never leave me. He forgave me and even though I am still broken from this thing I have Christ standing next to me. He is helping me overcome my own selfishness and making me new again. He loves me that much. He will not leave me during this storm.
So I guess what I want you to do, is think of a time in your life where you left God for a bit but then He brought you back to Him. Message me on facebook or leave a commet. Whatever you do I just want a little encouragment that He is working in your lives as well. Peace be upon you and your family!
