I always say God sends me hard trials.
He makes me go through really crappy stuff.
Because He knows I can take it.
But what I forget to say sometimes,
is that I wouldn't do it without people.
I usually push them away.
I usually isolate myself because I find it safer to be alone.
But I've gone through some sticky wickets lately.
Some really crappy stuff.
And I wouldn't have done it without these people.
Spencer
"If I were a girl or actually related to you, I would give you a hug."
The brother I never had but always wanted.
He's a very important part of my support system.
If I couldn't talk to him,
if he didn't listen to me...
He listens. He cares.
He makes me laugh.
Sometimes that's all you need.
Brianna
"You can cry all you want. I'll be home and you can cry on my shoulder."
She's like a little sister to me.
She likes watching movies.
Ice cream.
Girl talk.
And texting.
I know I can always text her about anything.
I know she'll reply. I trust her.
Sometimes you really just need someone to hold you while you cry.
Jane
"We're not putting up with you. We're just being here for you."
I wanted a good roommate.
I had an awesome year being roommates with Britt
but I had an awful summer roommate experience.
I wanted more than a roommate.
I wanted a friend--like Britt.
And God sent Jane to me.
She's the female version of Spencer, kinda.
She always makes me laugh.
She's so sweet and so spiritual.
Always makes me feel loved.
Sometimes you just need someone to tell you you're worth it.
Christine
I am sad Christine is usually at work when I'm at home.
But she's a great roommate.
She's so direct and so spot on.
Sometimes you just need someone to side with you.
Whatever happens.
And she has the most honest smile ever.
Sometimes you just need to see a friendly smile.
And last but not least.
This Scripture was comforting.
Alma 31:31
"O Lord, my heart is exceedingly sorrowful; wilt thou comfort my soul in Christ. O Lord, wilt thou grant unto me that I may have strength, that I may suffer with patience these afflictions which shall come upon me, because of the iniquity of this people"
God is always there.
Whatever happens.
Just let Him help you.
