Seasons of Life

For the past week I've been going through life changing struggles. Struggles that I couldn't have made it this far through without the help of some very dear friends. Thus being the reason I am so speachless and grateful and so thankful to God right now. Through many seasons of life, I've had to come out of my shell of "not bothering" and enter the world of "leaning on friends". I've never been the girl to call and ask for help when I truly needed it- not until someone who I look up to said they would be angry with me if I didn't ask for help when I needed it. Not even really truly needed it, just when I needed help. Because all I had to do was ask and they would do what they could if there was anything they could do.

Turns out asking for help is alot easier than it sounds. And I wasn't even thinking straight when I asked for help. I'm sure that the words I was trying to say through my tears weren't very understandable but I got the help I needed. And when I talked to them the next night, they were there to help and check up on me. Plus when I had an issue on Sunday, they didn't turn me away but helped me through that problem. I can't even begin to explain how grateful I am, or how much it means that they were there through everything. Even today they're there for me when I need them or even just to hang out.

I've known these wonderful people for two years now, and it seems like so much longer. Maybe its because I've gone through so many different seasons of life. Or maybe its because I can turn to them for anything, even if its not Godly, and point me to the cross. In every season of life we have those friends that will pray for you at two in the morning even if you're not wanting prayer. There are those people who change the same time we do and sometimes you come out on different sides of the track but you still think about them.

Well as we go through these struggles and seasons of life we have to look for the cross and the people willing to help us get there, even if its two in the morning and they have a baby to look after.  Jesus has a group of 12 that he talked to and hung out with. Then he had a group of three that he told everything. Your group of three should be people who you can call at two in the morning and know they will be there and pray for you, specaily if they can't do anything but call on God to help you through it.

Just some quick notes I've been thinking about all day :)
