We are numb to our experiences; tomorrow has no meaning. Sometimes all we can do is remind ourselves to keep breathing.
We've all been dealt blows that force us to curl up into a fetal position and pray it's all a bad dream.
We already know it's a nightmare.
We're shocked to discover that almost everyone else's lives go on. They can keep on with their daily routines without thinking much about it. The world is still spinning while we feel ours has stopped. Frankly, it ticks me off that the sun still rises and falls when I'm suffering.
I don't want to make light of anyone's trauma. I just want to offer this thought:
The story isn't over.
Looking back over the worst chapters in my life, I realize now that they were merely a part of where I am and who I have become.
The same is true for all of us when we reflect on our past.
If THIS hadn't happened then THAT wouldn't have happened and I wouldn't be HERE.
So let me offer hope to anyone who feels stunted or trapped by their circumstances.
God knows what He's doing even if it seems pointless. His view of us and His decisions are based on an eternal perspective. Hope says keep going. Keep the story moving forward.
Because the story is still being written.
