I'm Throwing My Mattress Down


I saw this scene yesterday as I was taking a walk. It felt like it represented my life, but I didn't have the words to explain how or why, so I snapped a picture to save for later.



If you only see my life from social media, you get a pretty one sided picture of what's going on. It seems that I'm living a really fun and exciting life in London and taking holiday trips to other countries, one adventure after the next. 

What you don't see is the hard things I face every day. The brokenness. 

Honestly, I'm not ok right now. The brokenness is getting to me and I'm not dealing with life so well. But I'm making steps to become ok.

Maybe this picture feels like my life because I have to take a break where it doesn't make sense. I'm throwing my mattress down on the sidewalk and calling a time out. It's a little ugly and messy and makes you stare and wonder what the heck is going on.  

I'm not sure of a whole lot right now, but I am sure of this-- My Abba loves me and is with me every step of the way in my hurting and in my healing.
