Life deals us with the toughest lessons, but are they given to us because the creator above knows that we can handle them and some more?

Dark days seem so dark and seeing the light so very far away, makes us want to give up or give in. The darkness surrounds us that sometimes that light can’t be seen.

Your heart feels broken and you feel as though there will be no repair to this brokenness.

The tears shed, you start to wonder if you keep going you could contribute to the ocean.

Your feet feel as though you’ve walked a thousand miles, you feel so tired and just want to stop.

You feel like your drowning, trying to reach for the surface your hand reaches above your head but sometimes it feels impossible to reach that surface.

You feel pushed way past the point of breaking, you’ve been brought down to your knees and there is no end to this - or so you think.

You wonder if this is rock bottom, why had you fallen so hard on the ground.

But what happens when you reach that light? What happens when you reach the surface? What happens when you reach that destination?

What happens when you reach rock bottom? Well the only way out is up.

You start to see colour, you notice the birds in the trees or flying in the sky.

You stop to smell the roses and take time to appreciate the gift of living that was given to you.

You observe those who surround you and wonder how deep they may be.

Your smile grows bigger and you appreciate the little things, the simple things.

The grass seems greener, the trees that whistle in the nature are as interesting as ever.

And the sky had never looked so blue as it does right now.
