don't tell me that I'll get an answer if I pray.
It's been over a year since we've all gone to church together.
It's been seven month since they told us; seven months since I met you.
It's been six days since I cried for my mom.
33 days since the ER.
13 days since we last talked.
3 months since I last tried to really talk to God.
7 weeks since I went to sunday school.
6 weeks since you left.
5 months and 10 days since the crash.
26 hours since I felt his hand.
2 months since I started giving up.
7 months since the fear consumed me.
51 days since you said you'd always love me and I'd never have to doubt that.
40 days since I knew that wasn't true.
4 years since I remember a prayer being "answered".
400 days since I knew.
16 years since we were sealed.
7 months since that didn't matter anymore.
51 days since you said those ordinances didn't go away.
131 days since I told you.
131 days since you told me you weren't going anywhere.
31 days since she told me she had the same problem.
14 hours since I went to church by myself for the 29th week in a row. Excluding October 26th.
4 months and 27 days since you gave me a wish to use on my family.
Its been 4 months and 27 days and I still haven't used it.
9 months and 8 days since the AP calc test.
9 months and 7 days since I read my scriptures on the lawn of the temple.
Hours since I decided I can't handle any of it anymore.
I'm just a mess of numbers and none of them add up.
They keep telling me not to think with my brain, but I don't know how to shut it off.
Trust me when I say that I would.
Wanting to believe and believing are very different things and,
hello?
God?
It's me, again.
Its the eleventh hour
and I think we got disconnected.
Why am I on hold?
Why am I not important?
Why am I still waiting?
Why isn't there any music playing, why is it just silent?
Allah?
Buddha?
Muhammad?
Christ?
God?
Heavenly Father?
Anyone?

I don't know how to tell you that just because you can't feel god hugging you that doesn't mean he doesn't hug you every day.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love you.
