What Do You Do When You Feel Like You've Hit Rock Bottom?

I sat talking with her about life.  She was antsy and distracted and weepy... all at the same time.  The little things of life seemed to be building up around her.  Some of it was just life happening.  Some was due to some bad decisions with money and relationships.  It was just a big ole pile of stuff.  

It was easy to be empathetic for her.  We've all made bad choices.  I've had my fair share... that's fo sho!  

It was equally as easy to say, "Come on girl, you have got to get your life together... you have a child to think about!"  

But she had hit rock bottom and was not ready to take the next step.  How do you find hope in a negative circular pattern?  

I've noticed with animals that some have a will to survive and some just don't.  It's the craziest thing.  But what happens when you are BB with very little desire to press forward and not just survive... but THRIVE?  You miss out on the Kingdom.  

God desires for you to have a life in His eternal Kingdom, but here's the deal.  It's easy to just waste away when you've hit rock bottom, and say, "Well who cares.  I wasn't made for this world anyway.  I'll just sit here and do nothing... or minimally survive until then."  But that's not what we are supposed to do.  

God is very clear that we are going to go through trials and temptations and struggles.  We live in a broken world, so it's inevitable, but we are called for MORE!  And I speak this from a place of constant exhaustion... while dealing with the circular pattern of horse poo that this world creates around me on a daily basis. 

The Kingdom of God is right here on earth.  Plain and simple.  But BBs, we will never experience it while hiding or running from our problems... or even pretending that they do not exist.  We have to put on our big girl panties and put on those boots that were made for walking and carry on, sweet friends.  

As hard as it is.  

As much as you think you're God has forsaken you.  

You have to chose to keep on going.  

When you are sitting there hopeless... invite God to hang out with you.  He will!!  He will meet you in that valley and on that mountain top and even at the bottom of the rocks.  Choose to start building a new foundation from those rocks.  One at a time.  And take time to look up, because do you know what?  You have the best view of the Father and His Kingdom from down there!
