And despite it all, even if I had to go back and choose again, I would still choose you. 

Lost in Downtown

I got lost driving by myself in downtown at night today. I went around in circles, clueless to where I was going. All I saw were dark, empty one-way streets. Even if I knew where I was supposed to go, I couldn't go there since the roads were all one-way. I kept going and going and going knowing God would eventually feel sorry for me and help guide (frantically praying and begging at the same time not to mention), but eventually (with God's mercy), I found my way back home. I knew that I just had to spend a painful ten minutes in desperation and after that it would all be over. He would help me get where I needed to be. And as that realization struck, I could not help but notice how similar this situation was to my life right now. But what I learned today was that despite all the uncertainty coupled with desperation that I feel surrounded with right now, I will eventually find my way to the place God has destined for me. It's there. I know it is. I just have to spend some time in pain, some time feeling unsure of myself ... because then, and only then, will I be able to sure of what that place is where I want to be. Everything happens for a reason. All you need to do is to learn to rise above it, understand the reason for that lesson, and take those experiences with you. Learn that only in the darkest nights, are the stars glimmering in the sky most visible. That darkness is a test. It is meant to see how much faith you have in yourself, in those you love, and above all, in God.

Persevere.
