The Dark Ages

I was reading some of my old blogs, from my first blog, and I was remembering just how dark my life was back then. At the end of most of the entries I would say something like "I need prayer" or "please pray for me". I think it is amazing that God listened to that and brought me out of that. I know LOTS of people were praying for me at the time, and if you were one of those people, thank you. We all go through "dark" times...and not just once in life, they circle back around. I know I am susceptible to it...but I am just thankful that God is faithful to me even when I can't be faithful to Him. I was telling a friend the other day that there was one point in my life that I told God that He was going to have to pick me up, because I didn't want to try anymore and I didn't even want to talk to Him because I knew I was so far away from Him. He was faithful. I don't like going back and thinking about that dark place, but I know that it is a good reminder to remember that He brought me out of that.
