When you hit rock bottom, looks like there's no way out, and you're all out of your element, what do you do?
Last Sunday at church my pastor Kerry Shook described what to do when you've hit the ground and can't seem to get back up...he used the story of Jonah in the Bible. Basically, if you have Jesus as your savior, God will provide a way out for you in His time. He wants you to be in the rock bottom if that's what it takes to send His message across or get you to that next level. He will provide all the promises He made to you.
Recently I've been out of my element and unsure of what to do about a dying friendship. This is the short story of it...he and I were friends, then dated, I moved away, then he said we will remain friends...i slept with someone else in my new town (BIG mistake! not like me at all...but i thought it would help me get over the last guy, it didn't!)....he said he wants to see if he could get over what I did with that guy....he didn't get over it and decided after already talking to someone new that we stay friends a month later.
It's been three months since then, and I could not get over him. I had gotten so attached to him because I told him everything and trusted him a lot. I prayed everyday almost and tried to concentrate on other things, but I could not let him go. So today I made the decision that all this heartache and pain I have gone through for a hopeless relationship that will never happen needs to end. I killed the friendship. I hope it was the right decision. Its hard to be just friends with someone you care so deeply about when they don't care that much about you. He ignored me a lot and broke promises of spending any time together, so I felt like it was the right thing to do. I'm not so sure anymore, but maybe God doesn't want me to linger with him...maybe ending the friendship with him was the way out of rock bottom??
I feel somewhat better, but I feel like I'm losing what could've been a good friend.
