sometimes...


Sometimes in life, people stop talking to you.
You may not know why, but they do.
Even if you've become great friends over the past six months, and you "click".

Sometimes in life, people stop talking to you.
Even if you haven't done anything wrong.
Even if you have a "fate" that needs to be determined together.

Sometimes in life, people ignore you.
Even if you're nice, and ask a simple, casual question, they may not respond.
Even if you'd really like to know what they're thinking.

Sometimes in life, people are confusing.
They may act one way, and then totally switch their behavior.
This usually happens right after something goes very right.

Sometimes in life, you want to be there for someone.
They may be going through a rough time, and you know how they feel.
You may know what to say and help them along their way, but they won't listen.

Sometimes in life, you don't know how to not think about something.
It eats at you, and you worry about it until you may or may not have an ulcer.
You can forget it for a second, but then your subconscious creeps up on you, and you don't know what to do.

Sometimes in life, you remember that there is someone who will listen.
Even if you forget for a while, there they are, waiting to hear your problems.
They will help you through anything--whether it be someone who stops talking to you, someone who ignores you, someone who is confusing, someone who won't let you be there, or if you can't stop thinking about something.

Always in life, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are there for you.
They want you to tell them what's on your mind.
They want you to come closer to them through your trials, big or small.
They want you to know that they will answer your prayers, and bless your life--if you do what's right.
Remembering is simple, and becoming more spiritual and a better example is easy with those two on your side.

So, in life, when your trials become too much for you to handle or even think about, give them over to God and the Lord, so they can help you through it, and so you can grow from it.
