God, please make it stop.

Whether you've gone through a life-altering tragedy or have simply gone through "small" yet intense daily events, most of you, if not all of you, have probably thought this phrase - "God, please make it stop". If you have read my past couple of blogs, then you know that we have been going through things one after another. Once one situation improves, something else happens. Well, just as my son was getting over an almost week-long stomach bug yesterday, I got sick. I don't have the bug - the bug has me. I have not felt this sick in literally years. Being this sick while raising an insane little boy and being pregnant is no joke. I will spare you the not-so-fun details, but what I will tell you is that while I was leaning over the trash can today for the thousandth time, I was bawling my eyes out, yelling at God to "please make it stop". On the surface, this could have simply sounded like a cry for help with my stomach bug issue only, but in my heart, it was a cry for help to put an end to all of the emotionally overwhelming events that God has been allowing back to back the past few months. I don't know why He allows things to happen the way He does most of the time, but I am still comforted by the thought and feeling of Him always being by my side, holding me all along the way. I don't deserve Him, but I have Him. I also know that because our experiences are our testimonies, this bit of my life may help someone else going through the trenches. That's why I am typing this post tonight instead of waiting for when I am no longer sick. We must show each other that we are not alone.

You are not alone. You have God, and you have others who can relate to you. Please know that.
