Just Breathe...

Thanks Anna Nalick I appreciate you not minding for me stealing your words of wisdom!


In this every growing hectic world full of chaos and despair and joy and laughter, I think we all just need to breathe a little. Without a doubt pain can seem unbearable, but the cool thing about that pain is that we don't have to deal with pain on our own. Breathing helps a little, but surrouding yourself with loved ones, and God's love is even more powerful. Though we have no way of controlling any situations, we can always recognize that everything will be amazing in the end of it all, due to God's unending love and grace.

God is amazing, he places people in our lives that make us who we are, and shapes us to be who we need to be. Today might be a day that will be remembered for a long time for many. But it's important to realize, that even though we might not realize it, that God has a plan, God uses hard circumstances for his kingdom. And more importantly, this world is not ours. We don't end life on this planet, so we shouldn't be in dispair when fellow believers are near death, or have left us on this earth, but rather we shall celebrate and be joyful. For ultimately in their passing, they are the lucky ones, they are away from the pain and suffering, and with God in heaven.

"Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, girls,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe"


I am thankful for this passing year, and the people whom I came to love more than I can imagine. And I just think it's vital to realize that when it seems like situations are more than we can bear. That we just need to breathe, and give up our burdens. God is in control at all times, even when it seems like bad things are engulfing our life. God is in control. And he loves us, more than we could ever imagine, more than we can even love ourselves, or those closest to us. So breathe, because, God's in control, we though we may try with all of our might, are not.
