Letters to God,

I'm  sad tonight; really sad.  I've tried to hide from it, but it has caught up to me.  I don't want to have regrets, but every so often I think on things that might have been.  I'm running from sadness, when running is why I feel sad in the first place.
I don't know what your plan is, I just know sometimes it hurts.  Growing pains I guess.  Sometimes I don't see the growth through the pain.  So I get scared and confused and I run.....away from others, and away from you.  I don't run to your arms anymore.  I feel like I'm not familiar with how that feels anymore.....I've forgotten your love.  
It's been my experience that love really hurts.  Even yours.  But I need it.  I know that.  I've been fighting for my need for others to grow bigger than my fears.  I can imagine you telling me to let it go.  I want to.  So why don't I?  
I don't want to fight, but it feels natural.  Like I'm used to having to save myself.  I just want to be free.  Will you please show me the way?  I know you don't save us from all the pain, but will you hold me through it?  I can't do it on my own any longer...

Betty
