Trenches/TGIF

Happy Friday
I woke up screaming for help and the pressure was so unbearable. I couldnt breathe, when the pressure is so intense, nowhere to run, and no one one to turn to, what can you do, you can't sleep forever as you'll find problems don't go away on their own,better choices doesn't necessarily mean a happy ending. Strength is something that endures over time. When you're in the trenches, you don't know if you're coming or going and it gets thick, merky waters try to saturate every pore in the trying times, as you deal with your turmoil.

I believe that we have angels who walk the earth, they come in all forms. This year has been a testament of my survival and it hasn't been pretty, but then again life isn't always meant to be pretty. I wish I could say that my walk has been a unique one, but its been similar for many who color my surroundings. In a perfect world you quickly come to understand that such a thing does not exist. You come to realize that you do the very best with that you are given. The word character defines who you are and what you are made of, and the layers that unfold makes you the person that you grow to become. Following through life with a smile on your face is a very easy thing to do when turbulance is not a part of your circumstance. The cry for help in those trying times may be your only refuge, when the only question that seems logical is the 'what do you do' one, does it show a weakness if you're not able to handle your responsibilities? Knowing is half the battle, to know thattrouble times do not last always. When you realize how much Job was tested, that should give you more motivation in knowing that better days are soon ahead.

Those angels on your shoulders are there for you to call on, believe it or not they manifest truth from fiction. That stranger who lent a helping hand, that same onewho reached down to pull you up from the dark, the light that is revealed has all the makings of what you've endured, and that story is meant to be shared. Ugly days will continue to happen on occasion, but the extra comfort is the belief that your survival takes flight by the company that you keep and when you can humble yourself or situation. Presently I'm in a valley and the trenches are many, even in that present hell I know that I will win this battle and so will you. These are trying times and it gets so thick that you wonder if your faith is enough, day in and day out assures you that the one 'of little faith' is not the destiny that awaits your biography. Chapters have many rewrites, when its time for your close-up what is going to be your angle, which side will you reveal and what will you have to offer in making the landing smoother for your fellowman, because ultimately you're an angel too.
