Leah,
One more thing. You may FEEL alone, but you're not. We're here for you, and more importantly, God is holding you in His hand. Remember the poem, Footprints in the Sand? It says that there were footprints in the sand, two sets. And after awhile, there was only one set. The person asked God, why He had abandoned him and let him walk alone, and Jesus said, that was when I picked you up and carried you.
Let Jesus carry you. The full poem is below:
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints
in the sand: one belonging to him,
and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned
the LORD about it.
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed most you would leave me."
The LORD replied,
"My son, My precious child, I love you
and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
Hugs,
Pat
