It Is Written.

So where is everyone? Where are you in your life? Are you where you want to be? Are you at your starting point? Are you on your way somewhere? Are you in a bad place? Are you in a place so bad that it beats you down and kills your hopes every time you try to stand?
Everyone who has accepted life and decided to live, is somewhere between the starting point and the finishing line.
Though it's not a race. Racing defeats the purpose of living. So don't race. Because everyone finishes eventually.

I'm in a bad place. I don't really like it at all. I feel like a child stuck in a nightmare, without a teddy bear to hold. This place is rather lonely. But I can smile for two reasons: 1) because my facial muscles still work, and it is still physically possible. And 2) because I see the way out. And that's where I'm going.

It took a little bit of whinging, advice and religion to show me the way out. Nevertheless, it presented itself, glorious and illuminated, beckoning me.
It helps though, to know that someone's got my back. To help me through the bad places, and remind me of the good.
I hope, in the event of you ever finding yourself in a bad place, that someone will have your back too.
A little peace of mind, is what it is.

My church pastor said 'Never, ever, ever in this life doubt the Lord's love for you. He loved you so much that he gave his one and only son for you. He will never leave you nor will he forsake you, because he loves you and it is written.' That was assurance enough for me.

Wherever you are in your life- keep going. Keep walking. Walk out of that bad place. Whether you've begun to live or not, there's a destination with your name on it. Maybe you should accept life today then? Opinions don't keep you warm at night, but facts do. And I know there are better places than this. Why? Because it is written.
