PAIN IS PART OF THE PROCESS

Happy Monday!

They say that God is working things out in our favor even when we can’t see it. Well, this morning my mom called to tell me she loved me. She cried because she knew I was hurting. I never shared what I was going through with her and the anger and hurt in her voice broke my heart even more . You see, my mother and I have only shared moments like this when my pastor, Fr. Miller, died and then when my grandparents and uncle died.

Not even during the lowest point in my life do I remember her expressing that she was hurting for me. I know that she loves me; she’s simply not emotional. This act was a turning point in our relationship. Because my mom acknowledged some unspoken things that she hadn’t in the past, I am able to let go of the anger I had toward her. My mom’s failure to acknowledge all that has been transpiring in my life over the last four years has affected our relationship. Admittedly, I was hurt and angry with her. I felt that she minimized what i was going through. I accept that people can be who they are, and I believe in reciprocal love regardless of who it is. My hurt, therefore prevented me from having a closer bond with her.

God built a bridge between my mom and I by allowing her to witness, firsthand, what I have to endure Just Being Me. I know that I am not alone. There are many others who are misunderstood. There are many struggling to not give up. We are trying to see, and do, GOOD in spite of the evil around us. Some of us are hurting, lonely, depressed, worried, afraid, and even battling addictions of various forms.

Still in recovery, you may be fighting health issues that no one knows anything about. Like me, fighting to stay alive, in a world that is killing a piece of you daily, maybe you are facing financial problems and you are feeling like nothing you do is working. I encourage you to keep pushing. God sees all that you are going through and He is working it out.

I know that it is difficult to keep going, when those who should be for you are against you. God is revealing the enemy and taking you to places that others cannot go; just get ready. The breakthrough is coming. Don’t be afraid to stand up against the evildoers. Continue to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. TOGETHER, WE CAN AND WE WILL DO THIS, ONE DAY, ONE STRUGGLE, ONE LIFE AT A TIME.
