Why's it so hard to keep that spiritual high that was so beautiful and so amazing over the summer? Why do I feel empty like I've let you down? Like I've somehow failed to become what you want of me? God, sometimes it would be so much easier to stop trying...to let it all slip away and do whatever I want. but then I think about life without you and it hurts to even imagine. I love you too much. I need you too much....and then there's the fact that whenever it feels like I'm completely alone and void of all spiritual fruits, you come through. I call a friend or run into someone or read someone's LJ and it lifts me up. You lift me up. You're always there. Even when I forget and even when I'm obviously stomping my feet in the other direction, you take my hand gently and lead me safe.
“We have troubles all around us but we’re not defeated. We do not know what to do, but we do not give up the hope of living. We are persecuted but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we’re not destroyed…So we do not give up. We are having small troubles for a while now, but they’re helping us gain an eternal glory that is much greater than the troubles. We set our eyes not on what we see but on what we cannot see…” 2 Corinth. 4:8-9. 16-18
