I am struggling again. With several things that I can't write here for varying reasons. But right now life pretty much sucks. I hate where I am and how I feel.
One phrase that I hate is "God won't give you more than you can handle" I have always hated it. It has always rubbed me wrong. I could never put together in words why.
My friend shared this blog post on Facebook today. This. This is what is wrong with that phrase.

She worded this all so well. It was totally worth the read and the re-share here.
The Atonement needs to be used in these times of our lives. I am trying hard to lean on my Savior right now. Give Him the burdens my Heavenly Father has seen fit to hand to me.
Right now I don't know how things will turn out, what will happen. What I do know is that If He brought me to it HE will walk me through it. *If I ask Him and lean on Him.
Ah I know these rough times. They suck. I don't care what anyone says....addiction is rough. Try and look beyond the addiction. Or the triggers in your face. Look deep inside. If I am off emotionally or sad or lonely...lust feeds off of that. It's okay to feel low. Just allow yourself to be treated. When you get in a car wreck or wake up super sick....people can take care of us. It's okay. Let God help...but also reach out to others. Don't give up....even though giving up certainly seems easier.
