God is so good. He places the perfect people and situations in our lives just when we need it most. That doesn’t mean that those lowest lows won’t come first, but God will always eventually pull us from the pit.
I had one heck of a week last week. Every single day something crazy happened and I got progressively more worn down to the point where I just couldn’t contain it anymore. I know it could have been much worse, and I’m so thankful that it wasn’t, but it still wore me out.
God uses even our messes for our good. My eyes have been opened to some poor life choices and areas in which I’m not living to my full potential, areas in which I’ve allowed others to take over and overwrite me and who I am.
I can’t say how much is going to change going forward, but I do know that God is faithful. And I see Him working in these situations.
He’s placed friends and people in my life as champions and supporters. They have shown so much love and understanding it just blows me away and there’s no doubt in my mind that God has allowed this in order to grow and mature me, to show me His love and to help me to trust.
We can’t control other people, we can hardly control ourselves. We don’t have control over everything that happens in life, but God does. He holds all of us, no matter where we my be, perfectly and completely in His love.
Needed to hear this. Great post. It can get to where you think it’s unbearable can’t it? And then, just like that…relief comes. God is good.

Years ago, I read a book by Beth Moore titled, “Get Out of That Pit.” It was a great read for identifying what “kind” of pit I was in and to work towards getting out of it as well as to move forward better prepared to avoid falling back in. If you have the opportunity, I really recommend reading it.

That book sounds perfect! Thank you for sharing it with me. I definitely need to look for it. Sometimes we need someone outside to identify the pit we’re in and help us figure out how to climb out of it. Thank you for the suggestion. ๐
