Have you ever had one of those days when you can just cannot do anything right? Or you feel like what you think is important and what you have put your energy into is just completely ignored by those around you? Like you're standing there in the center of a hundred people and no one will listen to you?
I know that feeling, and I hate it.
I had that feeling last week. Like everything I was trying to do what pointless - like I was the only one that even cared - and that no one seemed to notice that there was even a problem. I stumbled into a hole...and I just kinda wanted to sit there and let the world cave in around me.
Thank God for roommates and those other random people who will call or text at random hours! Because without them, I would've embraced the hole, but if you have the right people in your life supporting you - they may not necessarily see that you are in a hole - but they will still pull you out of it irregardless.
I know you all go through tough times...that you all get to a point where you want to throw in the towel and crawl into that hole and not come out...and this is why it is so important when you decide who you are going to be close friends with. If you choose friends that will be more concerned about their own problems or schedule - you are going to be left to sink into that hole rather than be pulled out. And I think if we do that and surround ourselves with enough selfish people, we begin to stop seeing Jesus in those around us and only keep seeing the problems of the world.
I'm not sure if I'm really directing this to a final point...maybe it's the sore throat clouding my head...but take time to appreciate those around you who support you. Because the only way that good people will continue to support you is by them knowing that their support is making a difference in your life. It's not like you need to do much - send a card, leave them a post-it note with a nice message, offer to do something for them for once - and your appreciation and love will be given back to you ten times over!
"Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you." - Luke 6:30-31
