Never too old to learn

I've really been struggling this past month. I'm usually able to push through things and not let them affect me but I think the saying "The straw that broke the camels back" came true in my case. It was just too many things all at once and it broke me down and threw me into a depression.

While feeling low and silently needing help to pull me out of this, I realized that instead of people coming closer and trying to help, they kept their distance. They avoided being around me and including me on things. This of course made things worse for me and made me feel even more alone.

I finally hit my lowest point and cried for hours. After I was done crying I got on my knees and prayed. I prayed for help, for understanding of what I've been going through and for peace. I was blessed with those things for which I'm grateful to my Heavenly Father for.

I've realized now that I might have had to go through so many trials in such a short time so I could learn a few things. Those things are 1) My Heavenly Father truly loves me and that if I turn to him he'll be there for me to comfort me (not that I didn't already know this but it's funny how fast you can forget) 2) I will always keep my eye out for those that might be down and make sure to be there for them. I feel that I do this now, but I plan to try harder to find people that need help. 3) I do have some great friends that really do care and do try hard to cheer me up, even when their lives are crazy too (julie)!!! I love you
