I feel the wind on my face, as once again I'm running from this life. I feel the cool breeze of the nice morning as I run. I want to stop, but I'm not far enough away from it all yet. I keep on running. I look behind me so far so good no one is following me. I'm in luck, so far. I have successfully made it out of this life, for the moment. No one is around me, maybe I can stop for just a bit and relax, but then someone might catch up, so never mind about that. I will just keep running until I can run no more. I am still running, I'm getting tired though, and I want to stop and relax, but I can't. I haven't run far enough away yet, I am still to close to it all.
I have run as far as I can, I'm going to stop now and just sit down, just for a little while. You think to yourself as you sit down. As I sit down, the thought all come to mind of what's been going on for the past couple of days, the things that have been said to you that hurt, the things in life that have just been so hard. As you sit the tears just start to fall, the you being tough all the time has worn off, and the memories of the hard times in life are coming back, the things that people said all week that hurt come back to you, the tears build up inside of you begging to come out, but you don't cry, too late. The tears fall down your face, it all hurts.
You look to your side and you notice that one of your friends has run after you and wants to talk to you. You quickly wipe all the tears away, and hope she didn't notice them. She starts to talk to you, first of all asking to make sure you are okay, and you don't really tell her the truth at first, but after sometime, you think maybe you should tell her, after all she came all this way for you. But something holds you back, and you don't. She keeps talking to you, but you turn away, cause you definitely don't want her to see you cry or anything like that, so you just run away hoping she won't notice that you were crying just a few minutes ago. She keeps talking about she says something that touches you and something you will never forget.
"Hey! I know you probably don't really want to be talking to me right now and telling me everything that's going on, and why you ran from it all, but I came here not to try and talk it out of you, but because I wanted to tell you that I'm here for you, and that I love and care about you. I also wanted you to always remember this; that no matter how hard this all is, just remember that God is doing this all for a reason. He has an awesome plan for your life, and he's always going to be there for you and love and care about you.... and I will too. I ran all this way just to remind you that I love you and so does God."
You aren't really sure what to say, but you know that is just what you needed. You turn around to look your friend in the eye, and she keeps talking.
"I know what it's like when life gets hard. I know what it's like to feel like you want to run. I know what it's like to hate life." She pauses. You wait for her to go on, she does. "I know how it feels to not have a perfect life, I don't either. Truth is, a lot is going wrong for me right now too." She once again pauses; you can see that she has tears building up in her eyes. "I know where you are at, and I know that it hurts, and I know that it's hard. It all happened to me too. But, one thing kept me strong this whole time, and it was God. He picked me up when I fell, and he always loved me. He gave me strength to carry on everyday. It's hard, I know, but you have to give it to God and trust him. He will give you the strength you need to move on too."
You look at her, and she is crying, and so are you, but you aren't sure if you want to show it or not. You want to give your friend a hug, but you don't want to turn back to her, cause she thinks that you don't ever cry, and that your all tough and all. You turn around thinking of how you could explain to her why you are crying. She doesn't say anything, just gives you a hug and tells you it will all be okay, and then she puts her hand on you and prays for you. As the tough girl goes away and as you cry, because it was all so touching and just what you needed to hear. You start to tell your friend what is really going on and she listens. God gave you just what you needed right when you needed it, because he really does love and care about you.
