dry times in the desert!

Dear Reader,


So I'm  going to write  hot off the press sort to speak! I can't say i understand  what I'm going through at the moment.  just know  every now and then a little feeling of discouragement  overwhelms me.  it's  like i could  cry and  cry and  cry  in a moment then I'm happy.  
 so to explain this  i have to write/talk  it out so just bare with me if you will.....
there is a point in all our  walks  that we get knocked down.  sometimes it's  easy to stand up and  fight. and other times it  feels  like you are on constantly sitting on the  lines of defeat.but if you are like me  i don't  enjoy reading so  getting daily devotions into me isn't always  easy. i think that the  source of my struggles  come  from lack of devotions with God. you might think it's crazy  but it's the simple truth.  when you get the word in you things in your life begin to change.  so maybe  you are out there  reader and you  can't sit down long enough or just quiet your spirit down enough to read Gods word  today. 
    our walk is like the waves out on the sea, when life is  good we are all smooth sailing  but when the storms and  hurts of yesterday's come  its  next to impossible  to make it out. the  waves come crashing  hard against the rocks of your  emotions,you want to cry from the loneliness that never seems to leave. your heart hurts  from  broken heart.  you are  struggling to just make it through and you are barely holding on. when all of a sudden you see the sun  it's your  glimpse of hope and gives you reason to keep going on in the moment.
  maybe like me your rescue is as simple as an encouraging word.a loving gesture. i know many  times  I've been here in the desert  longing  for someone to see right through my brokenness,  someone  to reach out for rescue.
i remember i had a dream once i was by myself  near a waterfall crying  there in the dark when a  young  guy  came behind me and  reached out. he  asked me  what was  wrong and i just kept crying. the  tears of my  heart were crying out for rescue. as he sat there beside and waited  for my tears to fall.  i calmed down enough let his  gentle words hit me. i can't remember what he said exactly  but it was what i needed to hear. 
sometimes  we are at the bottom in life and we need a  glimpse of hope a reason to keep going on. all  i can say is don't give up keep your head high  for God has nothing but good plans for you,
   when you are going through the hardest times in your life it's hard to believe that there can actually be a hope but trust me there is. sometimes putting someone before you helps you look past your problems and you begin to see that life is not always just about you.
   I bet if you took the time to  read your  bible that things that seem so hard now  would  soon  dissipate or disappear. your worries  your fears wouldn't be  so strong.  so go on  i dare you to read the bible. cause you got so much to offer someone and maybe what you are going through just maybe the  bible has stories and lessons in it that happened long ago that can help you.
