"Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road.
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope."
After years of hearing English teachers repeatedly say "Don't forget to cite your sources, without doing so will result in punishment for plagiarism," I have learned that it is best to give credit where credit is due in all situations. In this case, the credit for my blog lies within a very dear friend of mine. I was always the one with the big ears, the one who listened to everyone's problems, offered advice when I felt that it was necessary, laughed and cried, and tried to lift the burdens off any soul but my own. It wasn't until lately that I realized I am not an exception to these many people, I need to be heard sometimes as well. I didn't like the idea of finding help or talking to anyone about the circus being performed in my life right now, but after my first meeting with the lady who inspired this blog I felt that I could open up. I didn't know her at all, I simply applied to join her ambassadors program on campus, went to her office to meet her, and realized God had just put one of the sweetest people I had ever met in my life behind the desk in front of me. After a few visits to her office to discuss business, we finally began to explore all the things we have in common and I began to explain the worries in my world of chaos. Her response didn't leave me feeling like an idiot, she seemed to somehow understand although she had never experienced the situation first-hand. She promised to pray for me, suggested that I visit her whenever I felt the need to spill, and offered me an open door policy. I have opened up to her in a way that I can honestly say I have never opened up to anyone else before. I thank the Lord for putting her in my life...
"Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with the light of love."
Alabama has convinced me with the lyrics of their song that angels are indeed among us.
Love this post Kayla, I truely do love you and know how it feels to be in the situation your in. I hope and pray that I can give you words of encouragement to go on like I did. I may not have all the answers but there is one who does, just look up! Oh and the man standing at the window of Heaven looking down, beside God and Jesus, is my dad trying to lead me where I need to be also. Hope your having a great new year so far!
