My Life Has Fallen Apart

When everything has fallen apart in life you may find yourself asking: Is there even hope for me? Do I give up? How to keep going? I know this feeling all too well. I’ve been there! I’ve been in seasons where your whole life appears to have fallen apart, you feel hopeless as if it has to be a nightmare! You cry out to God, feel hurt, angry and feel as if He’s abandoned you. You may find yourself thinking, how could He allow this to happen to me, I’m a good person, why me?

It’s been about 2 years since I believe he told me to do this and I still haven’t finished yet. I am always making up an excuse not to work on it honestly, I just feel clueless and overwhelmed so I procrastinate. I finally wrote the story almost a year ago, but boy am I dragging with the illustration part! I don’t know what I’m doing, and it seems like a lot of work. I feel scared, the sketches look ugly to me and I don’t know my style of drawing… these are all my thoughts, feelings and complaints to God. I’ve tried to pray and ask God for peace and guidance, after all I believe He is the one who told me to do it. It definitely wasn’t my idea to deal with this pressure while still working as a full-time nurse overnight and being a mom. What I needed was to shut up to hear from God!Continue reading
