Forgotten

So, like many before me, when I'm avoiding coming to terms with something unpleasant I immerse myself in something else to avoid it. Right now it's babysitting and being with friends. But, then I get these little reminders of that thing I'm avoid and it's like a brick is thrown onto my lungs and I start to panic because as it turns out, avoid a problem doesn't make it go away.

But, I've failed to acknowledge God in all of this. He has a plan and there's something to learn from the situation I'm avoiding. I'm hurt. God wants me to find comfort in him and grow in him. How could I have forgotten that? The idea of my heart falling more in love with him while healing from being broken excited me and I don't want to forget that possibility again.
