Does it feel like your life is a Storm ready to sweep you away?

most of us have felt it...you just don't want to go on anymore, you don't want to wake up in the morning.  The feelings you feel when you're awake feel like to much, the pain that you feel is too painful. Maybe you've been hurting so much, you feel numb now. Maybe you do things to hurt yourself more than the pain you are already feeling, like cutting yourself, or injuring yourself. Maybe you are even thinking of ending your life, with suicide, or maybe you've felt like it in the past.
I have felt overwhelmed in my life.
I have been heartbroken beyond belief, and sometimes it didn't even involve someone that hurt me - it was my own life that was breaking my heart. It was my choices in life that were breaking my heart. I felt like I even broke God's heart, for the creation he made with love, that wasn't making the best choices for herself, me!
My heart has felt a sea of sadness. It's hard for me to talk to people about my feelings sometimes, And this week was tough, I was dealing with so many things, very stressful things, from money things to heart things, to life things...to so many things!
I want you to know, if you feel like giving up...DON'T - that sad time will pass. You WILL feel happy again. Everyone I know has gone through a sad time, that they felt that the pain was too much, and they didn't want to live. I have friends who I've talked out of suicide, and I have friends that didn't talk to anyone, and they took their life. To know that if they just talked to someone, whatever problem they had, was NOT TOO BIG, nothing is too big! And you will get through it, I promise!
Sometimes people only pray to God when they think they're gonna die ~ and if that's the way you have to do it..that's fine, nothing is too small or too big to pray about. but one quote has always stuck to me "Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?"
God isn't waiting to judge people...he's waiting to love you, like a dad with his arms open to hold you and tell you everything is ok. Now THIS IS NOT TO GET ALL RELIGIOUS on you
This is the only thing that pulled me out of this...my mom talked to me, and reminded me how nothing I've done is too awful, God gives you a fresh day with no guilt, no shame, he just wants to love you and for you to love him in return.
All the hurt we've had in life, will be swapped out for happiness.
I am happy today....despite all my trials and hardships, i am happy because i have my three little princesses to keep me smiling =)

If no one else it telling you it's okay...I am!
It's okay, whatever your heart hurts about...it's okay. Nothing is TOO big for God to handle.
If you feel like it's too much, like you can't go on...don't go on it alone. If no one is there, sometimes God removes everyone there could be to talk to, so the only one left (the most important one) is him.
You will be happy again. You will feel like going on, I promise!
I love you!
You're precious!
And if no one else has told you how amazing you are...I did!
You're amazing, loved, and amazing things to do in this world!
huge love and even bigger hugs (through the computer), your friend Sierra

When life gets too hard to stand...kneel

I have gone through many moments in my life where i have just fallen to my kneels from lack of strength to stand. Many of us can relate to having a perfectly good day and one moment in that day can sweep through and ruin it. i've found that i dont HAVE to dwell on what hurts or is bothering me, yes it's hard not to but just think about it, is worrying, stressing, crying, getting angry, ect.. are any of those things gonna change the situation? most of the time, no. and the moments we spend doing all of that, are moment wasted that could have been full of smiles and happiness.

I have recently hit a lot of bumps in the road, some bumps feel more like mountains, and yes i will cry, but there is never a time where i dont think of my heavenly father, and how he is always there to pick me up if i so much as call his name with a humble heart and pure intent. i have always been one that "appears strong" but inside it's like a battle field and storm of emotions.

I look at my children everyday and want the best for them, i want them to grow up happy and FEEL loved by their mother and father, i want to help them achieve all their wildest dreams and be like their best friend. it's amazing to me how when i feel so brutally torn, emotionally, my little two year old comes up to me out of the blue and just gives me a hug and kisses me and says "i love you mamma", to me it's not only love from my daughter but like divine intervention from god, letting me know things are gonna be ok and sending love to me so i can keep on putting my shoulder to the wheel and move along. my daughter would never SEE when i am troubled because i never let my children see that. but even just seeing their smiles brings warmth to my heart. :)

to all of you who may be hurting today or just having a downer day, remember that you ARE loved, and  there is someone out there ready to show that love for you, you are capable of more than you know, dont let these small (yet seem so big right now) moments get you down, notice all the blessings in your life, the sun that shines every day, the air you have to breathe, your friends and family, your freedom!, ect.. we have so much to be greatful for, so i urge you to take the time in the moments when life seems to hard to stand, to count all your blessings and you will feel a little better.
Keep putting your shoulder to the wheel and push along. we will be rewarded for all our hard efforts, you are worth more than you give yourself credit for, and never stop spreading the love and happiness of life. :)

Lots of love and encouragement, if i could i would be your crutch :)
